Voltage drop — is the reduction in voltage in an electrical circuit between the source and load. In electrical wiring national and local electrical codes may set guidelines for maximum voltage drop allowed in a circuit, to ensure reasonable efficiency of… … Wikipedia
Voltage Identification Digital — or VID is a circuit concept developed to provide the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer with the appropriate supply voltage. Instead of having a power supply unit generate some fixed voltage, the CPU uses a small set of digital signals,… … Wikipedia
voltage clamp — n stabilization of a membrane potential by depolarization and maintenance at a given potential by means of an electric current from a source outside the living system esp. in order to study the flow of potassium and sodium ions independently of… … Medical dictionary
Voltage clamp — The voltage clamp is used by electrophysiologists to measure the ion currents across a neuronal membrane while holding the membrane voltage at a set level. Neuronal membranes contain many different kinds of ion channels, some of which are voltage … Wikipedia
Voltage graph — A voltage graph is a graph whose edges are labelled invertibly by elements of a group. It is formally identical to a gain graph, but it is generally used as a concise way to specify another graph called the derived graph of the voltage graph.… … Wikipedia
Voltage divider — In electronics, a voltage divider (also known as a potential divider) is a simple linear circuit that produces an output voltage ( V out) that is a fraction of its input voltage ( V in). Voltage division refers to the partitioning of a voltage… … Wikipedia

Voltage converter — A voltage converter changes the voltage of an electrical power source and is usually combined with other components to create a power supply. The term voltage converter is sometimes used as a generic term for a power supply. A voltage converter… … Wikipedia
Voltage ladder — A voltage ladder is a simple electronic circuit consisting of several resistors connected in series with a voltage placed across the entire resistor network. Voltage ladders are useful for providing a set of successive voltage references, for… … Wikipedia
Voltage reduction — In a simple resistive circuit, a reduction in the voltage across the resistance will result in a reduction in the power dissipated by the circuit.Electric UtilitiesElectric utilities have discovered that this basic principle can save utility… … Wikipedia
High-voltage direct current — HVDC or high voltage, direct current electric power transmission systems contrast with the more common alternating current systems as a means for the bulk transmission of electrical power. The modern form of HVDC transmission uses technology… … Wikipedia
