How Do You Calculate Voltage Drop, And What Is Voltage Drop?
Voltaqge Drop can get interesting. In a simple DC circuit, it is simple the product of the current times the circuit resistance. In an AC circuit, other things come into play, circuit resistance and reactance. This happens to be a vector quanity. The source voltage is a vector, and the circuit impedance is also a vector, consisting of a real part, which is the resistance, and an imaginary part defined by the circuit inductive and capacitgive reactance.
