Best Answer

The answer will depend on many factors such as:

  • distance between the two points for which a voltage drop is to be calculated i.e the length of the cable run
  • wire size and material (copper, aluminum...)
  • type of insulation used in the cable
  • type of cable fixing (in the open air, along a wall, in a duct, underground, etc.)
  • expected ambient temperature at full load

What is the effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage?

The effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage is that the input voltage will not be totally transferred to the output because power loss in the diode . The output voltage will then be given by: vout=(vin)-(the diode voltage drop).

The voltage drop in a wire has nothing to do with the insulation. Voltage drop has to do with the cross sectional area of the wire.


What is the difference between voltage forward voltage and voltage drop?

Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source voltage.


What effect does it have on the voltage drop in an electrical cable if the resistance of the cable is decreased?
