Which current is used for electronic devices?
It depends on the amount of resistance, or load, the device is on the circuit. Do you have a particular device you're asking about?
How current are made?
You cause the current to flow through an electronic device that allows current to flow in one directionbut not in the other direction. Such a device is called a "diode" or a "rectifier".
What is the name of a device that can be used to control the amount of current?
A resister limits the amount of current passing through a circuit.
A light bulb and an electric motor are connected in a series describe the amount of current in each device?
Te same current and amount of current travels through each device in series. The amount of voltage available to each is different.
Which lead on an FET controls the amount of current flowing through the device?
Gate
What is a device that uses electric current to represent coded information?
An electronic device uses electric to represent coded information. Variations in the current are converted to codes used by the electronic device.
What is an electronic device that limits the amount of current that can flow through it?
A current limiter. Commonly used in well designed power supplies to make the power supply "Fold over" if output current exceeds a safe value. Commonly use a low value resistor in series with the output, and a circuit that senses the voltage across it. Although the above answer describes a circuit to limit current, the device that limits the amount of current flowing through it is a resistor.
What is clamping voltage?
The maximum amount of voltage that a surge protector will allow through itself before it will suppress the power surge. When the device reaches its clamping voltage, it blocks any further current from flowing through the device and into a computer system or other electronic device.

What is the working principle of electronic dimmers?
Electric dimmers work basically by controlling the amount of voltage going through. It chops out portions of the current, and the reduced voltage reduces the power of the receiving device, usually a light.
How do you prevent the excess amount of current flows through the source?
An inrush current preventing circuit includes a rectification circuit, a temperature-sensitive component, a controller, a switching circuit, and a tank circuit. The controller outputs a control signal to turn on the switching circuit in response to the tank circuit being at a substantially full voltage, and the rectification circuit and the switching circuit forming a current loop for providing power from the rectification circuit to an electronic device. The controller outputs no control signal to turn off the switching circuit in response to the tank circuit being undercharged, and the rectification circuit and temperature-sensitive component forming a current loop for providing power from the rectification circuit to the electronic device for protecting the electronic device. the rectification circuit and the switching circuit forming a current loop to provide power from the rectification circuit to the electronic device;wherein the controller does not output a control signal to turn off the switching circuit in response to the tank circuit being undercharged, the rectification circuit and temperature-sensitive component forming a current loop to provide power from the rectification circuit to the electronic device such that an excess amount of current is prevented from flowing to the electronic device
On what factors the current flowing through a device depends?
Current flowing through a device depends on resistance offered by that device.
What is the difference between an electronic device and an electronic circuit?
An electronic circuit is one or more loops around which electrical current can flow as it passes through one or more electronic components.An electronic device is any device designed to perform a specific useful function that is implemented largely using electronic circuits.Note: it is possible to design and build an electronic circuit that does nothing useful, it is not possible to design and build an electronic device that does nothing useful (the very reason for designing and building electronic devices is to create a thing having a useful function).
