Gear Train Advantage

Does gear train provide a force advantage or speed advantage and explain? Make it shortly
A gear train can provide a force advantage or a speed advantage, depending on the arrangement of the gears.
When the input gear has a smaller radius than the output gear, the gear train provides a force advantage, as the output gear will rotate more slowly but with greater torque. This is known as a gear reduction.
Conversely, when the input gear has a larger radius than the output gear, the gear train provides a speed advantage, as the output gear will rotate more quickly but with less torque. This is known as a gear increase or gear multiplier.
