When a current flow on a conductor , or load or resistor, some voltage will drop across that load or resistor.
AnswerA voltage drop is the potential difference appearing across individual components in a circuit, necessary to drive current through those components. The sum of the individual voltage drops around a series circuit will equal the supply voltage applied to that circuit.

What is the percentage voltage drop for feeders?
In the CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) voltage drop for feeders is stated in rule 8-102. Voltage drop in an installation shall not exceed 3% in a feeder or branch circuit. This percentage may differ in the NEC (National Electrical Code).
The resistor in an R-L series circuit has a voltage drop of 53V and the inductor has a voltage drop of 28V what is the applied voltage of the circuit?
The applied voltage is 53+28 = 81V.
What causes contact chatter in electrical circuit?
Overload can cause contact chatter. Once the contact closes, the voltage in the circuit collapses and that causes the relay to drop out. At this pint the relay energizes, since the voltage is back. This cycle will continue on.
In a series circuit why does the largest voltage drop occur across the largest or smallest resistor?
It doesn't. In a series circuit, the largest voltage drop occurs across the largest resistor; the smallest voltage drop occurs across the smallest resistor.
What is the definition of applied voltage?
Any voltage that is fed into or "applied" to an electrical circuit is referred to as an "applied voltage".
How do you electrical powers?
Voltage x current. In a resistor for example it is the voltage drop across it that is relevant, it may be part of a circuit.
What is the percentage voltage drop for feeders?
In the CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) voltage drop for feeders is stated in rule 8-102. Voltage drop in an installation shall not exceed 3% in a feeder or branch circuit. This percentage may differ in the NEC (National Electrical Code).
What is the voltage drop using?
Voltage drop is caused by circuit resistance
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel potion of the circuit?
A: There is no voltage drop running through in a parallel circuit but rather the voltage drop across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same
What is Voltage rise?
Voltage Rise : The energy added to a circuit. Voltage drop: The energy removed from the circuit.
The resistor in an R-L series circuit has a voltage drop of 53V and the inductor has a voltage drop of 28V what is the applied voltage of the circuit?
The applied voltage is 53+28 = 81V.
Why does voltage matter?
Voltage is a measure of electrical potential. I understood voltage best when my first semester Electronics professor told the class that voltage is to an electrical circuit as water pressure is to a plumbing "circuit".
How do you calculate electrical power?
Voltage x current. In a resistor for example it is the voltage drop across it that is relevant, it may be part of a circuit.
What will be the voltage drop when diode and resistance are used in series in a circuit?
voltage drop deviding accure
What is a short to voltage?
what is short to voltage in a car electrical circuit & how to check it ?
When Checking voltage at different points in a circuit is what?
Looking for a voltage drop.
What effect does it have on the voltage drop in an electrical cable if the resistance of the cable is decreased?
It will decrease the voltage drop.
