Voltage in aircraft systems, as in electrical systems in general, is a crucial parameter that governs the flow of electrical energy and the operation of various equipment. Here’s the definition and SI unit for voltage in aircraft systems:
Formula: Voltage is typically measured using a voltmeter, which provides a direct reading in volts (V). However, in electrical circuits, Ohm’s Law can be used to calculate voltage when you know the current (I) and resistance (R):
- Voltage (V) is in volts (V).
- Current (I) is in amperes (A).
- Resistance (R) is in ohms (Ω).
