Spannungs

Spannungs is not a standard standalone term in German; it is a form related to the noun Spannung, which can refer to electrical voltage or mechanical tension. The common plural is Spannungen, and the genitive singular is der Spannung. In many compound terms, the sequence Spannungs- functions as a prefix connected to voltage or tension, for example Spannungsquelle (voltage source), Spannungsregler (voltage regulator), Spannungsabfall (voltage drop), and Spannungsgrenze (voltage limit).

In physics and electrical engineering, Spannung denotes the electrical potential difference between two points, measured in volts. It describes the energy difference per unit charge and is a central quantity alongside current and resistance in circuit theory. Ohm’s law, V = I·R, relates voltage to current and resistance.

In materials science and mechanical engineering, Spannung also means internal stress within a material under external loads. It is measured in pascals (newtons per square meter) and includes types such as Zugspannung (tensile stress) and Druckspannung (compressive stress). The relationship between stress and strain for linear elastic materials is often described by Hooke’s law: sigma = E·epsilon.

In psychology and literature, Spannung translates to tension or suspense in a narrative or emotional context, reflecting the degree of anticipation or conflict within a story or situation. While measurable quantities exist for physical tensions, narrative Spannung is qualitative and analyzed through storytelling elements like pacing and uncertainty.

If a different meaning or a specific context for Spannungs was intended, providing that context can help tailor the article more precisely.
