Voltage | Direct Voltage | DC Voltage

"is the pressure that pushes electrons in a circuit."

Graph: V-t

Representation & Unit:

V or E:

1 Volt = 1 Joule / Coulomb

# volt : potential energy required to move 1 Coulomb of charge from one point to another.

Explanation:

This potential energy, stored in the form of an electric charge imbalance and capable of provoking charge carriers to flow through a conductor, can be expressed as a term called voltage, which technically is a measure of potential energy per unit charge or something a physicist would call specific potential energy.

work done by rubbing

work done by pumping

imbalance in electrons create a force

imbalance in height create a force

Terminologies:

Voltage = electron pressure

Voltage Drop = electron pressure drop

Potential Difference = electron pressure difference

Ground = zero electron pressure or reference point electron pressure

# electron pressure developed due to accumulation of electrons at a point and repulsive force b/w them.

Measure:

Remember: Parallel Measurement

Step 1: Multimeter Knob in dc V or mV.

Step 2: Black Probe to Battery's Negative Terminal.

Step 3: Red Probe to Battery's Positive Terminal.


Note: You can hold the terminals with bear hands. It will not give you any kind of electric shock.


Positive, Negative & Zero Voltage Funda:

You are taller. -- No meaning.

Voltage (i.e electron pressure) at a point. --No meaning.

You are taller than Bob. -- Has meaning.

Electron pressure at Red Probe compare to Electron Pressure at Black Probe. -- Has meaning.

Positive Voltage:

Red Probe Electron Pressure > Black Probe Electron Pressure.

Negative Voltage:

Reg Probe Electron Pressure < Black Probe Electron Pressure.

Zero Voltage: (doesn't mean No Electron Pressure)

Red Probe Electron Pressure = Black Probe Electron Pressure.

Experiments:

  1. Measure the positive and negative voltage of any battery with multimeter.
