Question

The ________ is the difference in voltage across an electrical device that has current flowing through it.

Answer 1

Answer:

voltage drop

Explanation:

Voltage drop is the decrease of electrical potential along the path of a current flowing in an electrical circuit. Voltage drops in the internal resistance of the source, across conductors, across contacts, and across connectors are undesirable because some of the energy supplied is dissipated.

Furthermore, wires carrying current always have inherent resistance, or impedance, to current flow. Voltage drop is defined as the amount of voltage loss that occurs through all or part of a circuit due to Impedance/resistance.
