Certificates of deposit, or CDs, are fixed income investments that generally pay a set rate of interest over a fixed time period.
When referenced to the local common or ground, a common-mode signal appears on both lines of a two-wire cable, in-phase and with equal amplitudes. Technically, a common-mode voltage is one-half the vector sum of the voltages from each conductor of a balanced circuit to local ground or common.
Chemistry determines the cell voltage (1.2V or 1.5V and there are others like Lithium at 3.0V), whether the battery is rechargeable, and how the voltage changes as the battery discharges i.e. at what voltage is the battery considered to be flat or fully charged. Switched mode power supplies. One more point.
