szabadáramú

szabadáramú is a Hungarian term that translates to "free current" or "unrestricted current." It is primarily used in the context of electrical engineering and refers to electrical circuits or systems where the flow of current is not subject to significant external control or regulation beyond the basic principles of Ohm's Law and the characteristics of the source and load.

In a szabadáramú system, the voltage and current are largely determined by the inherent properties of the components within the circuit. This is in contrast to regulated or controlled systems where devices like voltage regulators, current limiters, or sophisticated control mechanisms actively manage and stabilize the electrical parameters. For instance, a simple resistive load connected directly to a power source would exhibit szabadáramú behavior, where the current drawn is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance.

The term can also be applied metaphorically to situations where something flows or operates without significant impediment or external control. However, its most common and precise meaning is within the domain of electricity. Understanding the concept of szabadáramú is crucial for analyzing basic circuit behavior and for differentiating between simple electrical configurations and more complex, actively managed systems.
