Voltage source Definition and 127 Threads

Hi, if i add to different voltage source in parallel what will happen. I know that KVL forbid that and in pspice it shows simulation error. But i want to know what will really happen in practice. Similarly to different current source in series?

Dear Forum, Hello all, this is my first post. I'm trying to teach myself EE enough to design basic circuits and play with microcontrollers (my background is computers, programing, and, um, music). I've started reading The Art of Electronics and many Internet sources but I seem to be missing...

I don't understand couple of things about voltage and current source. When the load impedance is lower than the source impedance of a Voltage source, why does the voltage drop? What exactly happens when you draw more current. Also, why does ideal current source have a high resistance in...

A 50.0mh inductor is connected to an ac voltage source of 24.0V.The current flowing in this circuit is 0.60A.The frequency of the voltage source is : a)50Hz b)60Hz c)1.27*10^3 Hz My Work so far ! : f = w/2pi. But here we have L , E and i. Any help will be welcomed.

I'm having trouble figuring out the KCL portion of this problem. I have no idea how in the world the solution does from; (2-v)/20 = (Vx-2Vx)/8 - (Vx-8)/4 to; 17V - 18Vx = 84 it doesn't seem to make sense; but neither does my solution. i think I'm missing some concept here but...

Please see the attached illustration. This is clearly an open circuit. The voltage source is producing a voltage at some amplitude and frequency. If one were to measure with an oscilloscope the potential difference at the point where the mouse pointer is with respect to the ground, what would...

I'm learning about static electricity. All the examples always bring up the experiments with rubbing a balloon with your hair and combinations like that. I've found a page that lists what kind of charges certain materials tend to have...

Only voltage source and wire?(PLEASE SEE THIS!) Suppose a voltage source of any value(eg:5V,10V etc) is connected with a wire and that's all about the circuit,nothing else (resistors,bulbs or any kind of loads) is connected with the circuit.Assume that the internal resistance of the wire is...

What does it mean when you put on a AC voltage source (~) 50/60º. The book I've been studying from says the rms or peek voltage only. Thanks.

I want to charge a single lithium-ion cell from a current-limited voltage source. My "black box" (or rather, it's white -- with a question mark inside) has inputs of ~250mA @ [3.7V to 5.4V], and target output (i.e., the lithium-ion cell) of 3.2V to Vch = 4.2V. Which means: I can't charge the...

Can someone please tell me whether the following statements are wrong or right? this is not homework: 1. Voltage sources, like batteries, have a low impedance (ideally zero) 2. A good car battery's impedance (even with alternating current going through the battery) is typically far less than a...

This is a problem i just can't get my head around. When you have a circuit consisting of a "Ideal Voltage source -> Ideal switch -> Ideal Resistance" all in series. The voltage source produces a sinusodal voltage and the switch is set to cut off a part of any rising curve...

What i got is a permanent magnet 2 1/4HP@130v DC treadmill motor and everyone know those work awesome as generators. I've also got a 1000Watt inverter which needs an input voltage of 11 to 15 volts DC. Now if the input voltage to the inverter drops below 11 volts it sounds a low voltage warning...

Hi, I have the following circuit: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6735/circuitac.png My task is to calculate the voltage delivered by the voltage source Us When the voltage over R2 is known, 8cos(100t + 45) How would you do this?

Hello every1 I hav a basic question bout Design of inverters(Voltage source inverters). Wel Actually what does designing mean? I hav to design a inverter whose output Peak voltage is 50v. The input DC voltage wil b around 55V.I'm using single phase full bridge inverter And i'll b using R...

Hello all, I am just a guy playing around. I was trying to see if I understood correctly what electrolytes were, so I set out to make a simple "battery" out of saltwater. It has been done before many times and I thought I could at least make it light an LED. Here it is ...

In the picture u can see there are two voltage sources, I am confused one how to apply KVL to this. the book has this problem worked out and they get -12+4i+2v-4+6i=0 but i don't get this , i get this -12+4i+2v-4v-6i=0 and solutions isn't the same, what is my problem? For some reason there...

Using superposition, find v_0 in the following circuit. My work so far: v_1\,=\,2\,i_2\,+\,v_{0\,1} v_1\,=\,4\,i_1 v_{0\,1}\,=\,3\,i_3 v_{0\,1}\,=\,6\,i_4 KCL @ v1: 1\,A\,=\,i_1\,+\,i_2 i_2\,=\,i_3\,+\,i_4 Using these six equations, with 6 variables...

I have this filter problem, I am given a magnitude graph (magnitude vs frequency, with a point on it) of voltage across input current source and a sketch of a circuit: black box connected with a current source (cos(wt) and voltage across it is Vmcos(wt + theta)) and the question is to figure...

My friend asked me a question that totally shocked me for a second.. here was the question... "Is a voltage source turned off the same as a voltage source outputting 0V or near 0V?" Then he asked me if we connected the two terminals of a voltage source to two points on an already...
