This is a 'chicken and egg' situation. The motors in washing machines, etc., are driven by current but, without voltage, current cannot flow. You can't really separate the two.

What happens when a the electrical voltage is low?
Appliances at home have designated voltage e.g. 220 V or 110 V. When the voltage is dropped, the appliances try to run at their designated power in kW as usual. To keep the power same, current is increased (P = VI). This increase in current can burn the most delicate part of the appliances if the low voltage is experienced persistently.AnswerA drop in supply voltage results in a drop in the power of appliances. For fixed-resistance devices, a 10% drop in voltage results in approx, 18% drop in power.
When you are creating a generator what determines how much current is generated?
You don't generate current. You generate voltage, and the amount of current that leaves the generator is determined by the devices that are designed to run with that voltage, and draw their operating energy from your generator. You choose the size of the materials used to construct your generator based on the maximum amount of current you expect it to be asked to deliver by its users. But the actual current at any moment will depend on how many people are using it for their supply, and what kind of appliances they're operating. If nobody is using power from your generator, or the output cables are disconnected from it, then you can run it all you want and the current will be zero. Before you decide on the final design and go out for bids to construct your generating station, you might like to review the topics of voltage, current, power, and energy, and get them straight in your mind.
What appliances would have a 3amp fuse?
Depending on your voltage supply appliances of between 500 - 750 watts
How does the voltage applied to a circuit affect the current flowing through the wire?
Voltage is equal to the Current multiplied by the Resistance.Without changing the resistance, increasing the applied voltage in a circuit will increase current flow. There is a simple, direct relationship between voltage and current. Double the voltage, twice the current will flow. Triple the voltage, and the current will triple. As voltage (E) equals current (I) times resistance (R), when resistance is fixed, what happens to voltage will happen to current.
As the voltage applied to a circuit increases the current and the also increase?
answer is actually voltage

What is the current power and voltage rating of 3 household appliances?
350
Does the voltage that runs through different appliances vary according to the resistances of the appliances?
Technically speaking, voltage does not run through anything, current does. Voltage is the difference in electric potential energy per unit charge between two points. A voltage applied to a load (e.g. appliance) in a closed circuit will cause current to flow and make the load "work". If you apply a different voltage to something other than what it was designed to run on, it will most often not work or burn up. The amount of current that will flow through a device operating from a fixed voltage (like that coming out of the wall in your house) is directly proportional to the resistance. Lower resistance = higher current.
What two factors does the power of a light bulb or appliances depend on?
Voltage and current
Does the voltage that runs through different appliances vary according to the resistance of the appliances?
No, it is the current (amperes) that vary according to the resistance.
Why does the same voltage run through all the branches of a parallel circuit irrelevant of the different resistance appliances on those branches?
The same voltage is present but does not run. It is the current that could be described as "runniing" through the different branches. Just by definition, parallel circuits necessarily have the same voltage. It is architecture of the circuit.
When I turn my washing machine on the voltage drops from 110 to 75. what would cause that to happen?
Appliances like washing machine, Dryer, Air conditioner takes more current to run them. Because of that the voltage drops from 110 to 75.
What is the voltage of common electrical appliances?
115 volts <<>> In North America because of using a split secondary both 120/240 voltages are common. 120 volts used for smaller appliances and lighting systems. 240 volts used for larger appliances. Keeping in mind that the higher the voltage the lower the current, using higher voltage on larger current drawing appliances keeps the wire to a workable size.
How many volts can electronics and appliances take before they are ruined?
Most small appliances should not be exposed to more than 110V. Larger appliances like stoves, washers, or a refrigerator usaully run on 220V. Any voltage other than the specified voltage can ruin electronics or appliances as they are calibrated to run at very specific power levels.
Can you plug a 330V appliances to a 250V current outlet?
The voltage of the supply and the appliance must be matched to avoid malfunction.
Does the voltage that runs through different appliances vary according to the resistance of appliances?
Voltage does not 'run through' anything! Voltage is another word for potential difference which exists across a circuit's load. You can think of voltage as being equivalent to 'pressure' -pressure does not 'run through' anything, either, it is applied 'across' two points in a hydraulic or pneumatic system.So, if the appliances are connected in parallel (usually the case), then the potential difference across each appliance will be the same.
What would be the starting current of any Air Conditioning if voltage is 220?
To calculate the starting current of a motor, the run current must be stated. The voltage is only associated with this calculation in as the higher the motor's voltage is the lower the run current is. The start current can be as high as 300 to 600 percent of the run current. Also taken into account, without the specific make and model of the A/C, the run current is hard to guess as there is quite a variety of amperage drawn by these units.
