Phrases 28
- high voltageVoltage that is higher than the standard or usual voltage, especially when considered to be dangerous.
- Low-voltage
- dual-voltageAble to run using two different voltages, depending on the voltage supplied to the particular railway line, whether by third rail direct current or overhead wires.
- voltage dividerA type of simple electronic circuit which reduces any input voltage by a fixed factor using sources of impedance (such as resistors) connected in series.
- Hall voltageThe voltage generated by the Hall effect.
- high-voltage transmission lineOverhead transmission line from the power station to a transmission substation.
- breakdown voltageThe minimum voltage that causes part of an insulator to become electrically conductive.
- voltage spikeA fast, short duration surge (overvoltage) in the electric potential of a circuit; a power surge.
- open circuit voltageThe difference of electrical potential between two terminals of a device when disconnected from any circuit. The open-circuit voltage of a cell is its EMF (electromotive force).

- Planck voltageThe voltage between two points that use one Planck energy for every Planck charge that passes through: V_p=√≈1.043×10²⁷ mbox V
- voltage multiplierAn electronic circuit that provides an output voltage higher than the input voltage, by means of capacitors and diodes.
- ripple voltageA small, regular variation in a direct current voltage that remains after rectification and filtering of an alternating current voltage.
- load voltageThe voltage that is able to be supplied by a power source to be consumed by the electrical load.
- flashover voltageThe voltage at which an electric discharge occurs between two electrodes that are separated by an insulator.
- Kirchhoff's voltage lawA law showing that energy is conserved around an electrical circuit: the directed sum of the electrical potential differences around a circuit must be zero.
- Kirchoff's voltage lawMisspelling of Kirchhoff's voltage law: A law showing that energy is conserved around an electrical circuit: the directed sum of the electrical potential differences around a circuit must be zero.
- induced voltageA voltage produced in an electric circuit from a nearby electric field.
- node-voltage analysisSynonym of nodal analysis: A method of solving for the voltages of nodes in an electric circuit, in which a system of equations is written for the currents (using Kirchhoff's current law) at each node.
- voltage spikesplural of voltage spike: A fast, short duration surge (overvoltage) in the electric potential of a circuit; a power surge.
