Differential voltage

Fig. 11.5. Diagram illustrating the components of an ESI source. A solution from a pump or the eluent from an HPLC is introduced through a narrow gage needle (approximately 150 pm i.d.). The voltage differential (4-5 kV) between the needle and the counter electrode causes the solution to form a fine spray of small charged droplets. At elevated flow rates (greater than a few pl/min up to 1 ml/min), the formation of droplets is assisted by a high velocity flow of N2 (pneumatically assisted ESI). Once formed, the droplets diminish in size due to evaporative processes and droplet fission resulting from coulombic repulsion (the so-called coulombic explosions ). The preformed ions in the droplets remain after complete evaporation of the solvent or are ejected from the droplet surface (ion evaporation) by the same forces of coulombic repulsion that cause droplet fission. The ions are transformed into the vacuum envelope of the instrument and to the mass analyzer(s) through the heated transfer tube, one or more skimmers and a series of lenses.

Next we will plot the voltage of source Vi using the voltage differential markers. Select PSpice, Markers, and then Voltage Differential. A marker will appear ...

Answer It is interesting to note that safety regulations specify a certain physical spacing that must be maintained between the primary and secondary sides — in terms of the RMS of the voltage differential between them. The question arises — how do we define a voltage difference between the two sides of a transformer that are supposedly separate What is the reference level to compare their voltages ... 

We have already noted that a negligibly small voltage differential at the inputs will drive a practical amplifier to its limit thus we almost never use the amplifier to deal with an input signal without elaboration of the circuit. Normally the amplifier is stabilized by feeding back part of its output to the inverting input. The manner in which the feedback is accomplished determines the operational properties of the whole circuit. Here our concern is with circuits involving the routing of a current from the output to the input (1-7).
