Sähköjännitteillä

Sähköjännitteillä is a Finnish term that translates to "electrical voltages" or "electric potentials." It refers to the difference in electrical potential energy between two points in an electric field. This difference is what drives electric current to flow when a circuit is closed. Voltage is a fundamental concept in electricity and is measured in volts (V).

The concept of electrical voltage can be understood by analogy to water pressure. Just as a difference in water pressure causes water to flow from a higher pressure area to a lower pressure area, a difference in electrical voltage causes electric charge to flow. The greater the voltage difference, the stronger the "push" on the electric charges, and the more current can flow if the resistance is constant.

In practical applications, electrical voltages are generated by various sources, including batteries, generators, and power supplies. These voltages are used to power countless devices, from small electronic components to large industrial machinery. The voltage level in a circuit is crucial for its proper functioning and can significantly impact the behavior of electrical components. Understanding electrical voltages is essential for anyone working with or studying electricity.
