Voltage Drop Between Sender & Receiver ( help needed , Thanks in advance )

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding voltage drop between a sender and receiver in electrical circuits, particularly with inductive loads. It highlights the necessity of connecting capacitors in parallel to compensate for voltage drops caused by the load. The user seeks clarification on how current continues to flow when there is no significant voltage difference, questioning the role of phase angles in AC circuits. Additionally, the conversation touches on the factors contributing to voltage drop, emphasizing the load's impact. Overall, the thread aims to clarify these fundamental electrical concepts for better comprehension.

Voltage Drop Between Sender & Receiver ...( help needed ASAP , Thanks in advance )

hello every body I'm EE student and I'm new member here ... in a deep need for your help & knowledge

I'm doing some reading about the power transmitted from the sender to the receiver end , As we all know that when we have an inductive load we need to connect capacitors on parallel to the load in order to compensate the drop in voltage
My question is ; what keeps the current to flow from the supply to the load ( as long as there is no longer difference in voltage ) ...
Is that because the Vs ( Sending voltage end ) and Vr ( receiving voltage end ) will "almost" have same magnitude but different phase angle !?

Another question ; what makes the voltage to drop in the very first place exactly !? the load !?

Regards.

Hello.
Why a current with no voltage drop (DC or AC)? For an ideal connecting wire the voltage drop is zero, too. Does that bother you? Reason: the resistance is vanishingly small so, for any current flowing through it, the voltage drop will also be vanishingly small.
(V = IR)
Draw yourself a schematic diagram of the situation, including a Source resistance, a Load (resistance plus some series L) and parallel C. Where is the L and where is the C? Calculate what the Load will look like with C = 0 and when the C and L resonate? See how much Power is dissipated in the Load under those two conditions.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
