	Virtual Laboratory: Voltage
		This measure of energy per unit charge is measured is called voltage (V) and the unit of measurement is called volts.
		You are given a circuit on which you may vary the voltage by choosing from a variety of batteries and the resistance by adding resistors
		To add batteries to the circuit, use the mouse to drag a battery from the toolbox (the box containing the various resistors and batteries) and drop it onto the larger battery on the circuit.

	Voltage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Voltage is named in honor of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745–1827), who invented the voltaic pile, the first chemical battery.
		Voltage is additive in the following sense: the voltage between A and C is the sum of the voltage between A and B and the voltage between B and C.
		Voltage is a property of an electric field, not individual electrons.

	Electric voltage
		The difference in voltage measured when moving from point A to point B is equal to the work which would have to be done, per unit charge, against the electric field to move the charge from A to B. Used to calculate current in Ohm's law.
		When a voltage is generated by a battery, or by the magnetic force according to Faraday's Law, this generated voltage has been traditionally called an "electromotive force" or emf.
		It is useful to distinguish voltages which are generated from the voltage changes which occur in a circuit as a result of energy dissipation, e.g., in a resistor.

	Voltage regulator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A voltage stabiliser is a type of household mains regulator which uses a continuously variable autotransformer to maintain an AC output that is as close to the standard or normal mains voltage as possible, under conditions of fluctuation.
		An increase in the mains voltage causes the output to increase, which in turn causes the tap (or wiper) to move in the direction that reduces the output towards the nominal voltage.
		That is followed by a linear regulator that generates exactly the desired voltage and eliminates nearly all the noise generated by the switching regulator.

	Define voltage - a Whatis.com definition - see also: electromotive force
		Voltage, also called electromotive force, is a quantitative expression of the potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field.
		The greater the voltage, the greater the flow of electrical current (that is, the quantity of charge carriers that pass a fixed point per unit of time) through a conducting or semiconducting medium for a given resistance to the flow.
		Voltage is symbolized by an uppercase italic letter V or E.

	Voltage multipliers
		Voltage multipliers may also be used as primary power supplies where a 177 volt-ac input is rectified to pulsating dc.
		Although the measured output voltage of a voltage multiplier may be several times greater than the input voltage, once a load is connected the value of the output voltage decreases.
		For this reason, voltage multipliers are used only in special applications where the load is constant and has a high impedance or where input voltage stability is not critical.

	Voltage Regulator Power Conditioner Specification Guide (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The db is a logarithmic ratio of intensity or, in the case of electrical noise, the amplitude of one noise voltage level to another.
		This is the time that it takes for the unit to adjust the output voltage to within the output regulation range, once the unit has begun to respond.
		On the other hand, mechanical voltage regulators have a response time similar to that of the electronic units, but their slow correction time (measured in seconds) is really the limiting factor.

	What is voltage regulator? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		The voltage regulator's job is to reduce the 5 volt signal to the lower voltage required by the microprocessor.
		Pentium microprocessors with MMX actually require two voltage regulators -- one for the internal (core) voltage, and one for the I/O drivers at 3.3 volts.
		Some voltage regulators, particularly those packaged as a voltage regulator module (VRM), are voltage ID (VID) programmable, which means that the microprocessor can program the voltage regulator to provide the correct voltage during power-up.

	Measuring high voltage or the "static electricity" on your body.
		High voltage has all the characteristics of "static electricity." And when gradeschool textbooks are trying to teach us about "static," they are really trying to teach us about what high voltage can do.
		Adjust the HV supply voltage until the deflection is about the same as when your body was charged by the rug-scuffing.
		Capacitor voltage is always V = Q/C, and capacitance varies inversely with plate-spacing, therefor voltage varies directly with plate spacing.
