Understanding Charge-House Circuits: Constant Voltage, Variable Current
Charge-house is a term used in the context of electricity and electrical circuits. It refers to a type of circuit that has a constant voltage source and a variable current source. In other words, the voltage remains constant while the current varies.
In a charge-house circuit, the voltage source is typically a battery or a capacitor, while the current source is a resistor or an inductor. The current flowing through the circuit will vary depending on the resistance of the resistor or the inductance of the inductor.
The term "charge-house" comes from the idea that the circuit is constantly "charging" or "discharging" as the current flows through it. This type of circuit is commonly used in electronic devices such as motors, generators, and power supplies.
