Operation of led diode?
LED diode:when certain amount of voltage is applied to LED diode the electrons which are present in lower energy level jumps in to higher energy level after certain time the electrons in the higher energy level again jumps in to lower energy level .while jumping from higher energy level to lower energy level electrons emits energy in the form of light(visible or invisible)
The larger the conductor the Higher the resistanc Lower the ampacity Higher the voltage Lower the resistance?
No. The larger the conductor the lower the resistance and the higher the ampacity.
Why current flow from higher voltage to lower voltage?
Normal flow of electrons are from positive to a less negative potential. When a potential is applied meaning voltage electrons leave their orbit and move to another nucleus leaving at the same time a hole to be fill out by the next electron coming in. In essence electrons flow one way and holes flow in the opposite direction. It is possible to have -100v flowing into a -90v. electrons do not know what the potential can be raised to all they know is the differential potential of 10 v in this caseAnswerIt doesn't. If flows from a higher potential to a lower potential. Voltage means 'potential difference', which is quite different.A 'higher potential' is conventionally taken as meaning 'more positive', while a 'lower potential' is taken as meaning 'less positive'. The direction of conventional current (plus to minus), therefore, is from a higher potential to a lower potential.Electrons, on the other hand, move from negative to positive, so they move from a 'lower potential' to a 'higher potential'.
In a wire electrons moves by current or voltage?
See voltage means potential difference. Electrons move from higher potential to lower potential always. In wire same thing happens. So electrons flow because there is potential difference and flow of electrons causes current to flow. current is nothing but flow of electrons. reply if u r satisfied @ rahul.khaladkar@rediffmail.com
What is the purpose of capacitor in power supply higher than rated voltage?
The voltage marked on a capacitor is its MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING VOLTAGE. The capacitor will work in a circuit at any voltage lower than that, but it may fail at any higher voltage.
Is it true that electrical current flows from a state of rest to a high pressure state?
No, it is not true. An electrical current (which is a flow of electrons) can only flow from a higher pressure state (higher voltage) to a lower pressure state (lower voltage).
What happens to the distance electrons travel when voltage is changed?
Electrons will travel farther distances at a lower voltage.
When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?
This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.

Is a electric current a flow of electricity?
The flow of electrons from a body at a higher voltage to one at a lower voltage is flow of current.
When is a step up transformer used in relationship as to when a step down transformer is used?
If the voltage needs to be increased from a lower voltage to a higher voltage a step up transformer is used. If the voltage needs to be lowered from a higher voltage to a lower voltage a step down transformer is used.

Why do electrical power companies transform higher voltage to lower voltage for residential and commercial properties?
Because the higher voltage would be dangerous domestically.
Is air pressure higher or lower in warm areas?
higher
Does the size of a cell battery indicate a lower or a higher voltage?
No
