Yes. Another term for voltage is EMF, electro-motive-force.

Is induced voltage and induced currrent the same?

Induced voltage is alsocalled ghost or phantom voltage as if you apply a load it vanishes. induced voltage will be potential/electrical pressure. Amperage is the actual flow of current being used, Watts being its calibration of total power used.


What are the functions of current transformers and the difference between current transformers and voltage transformers?

To sense the current flow across the current transformers and to monitor the current ratings. In current transformers no voltage variations occurs. but in voltage transformers it is mainly used to increase or decrease the voltage value.


What is a device that changes electric current into a different voltage?

Nothing can change electric current to voltage. You can compare "current " to rate of flow, while "voltage" is the energy level. Transformers can be used to increase or decrease the voltages of alternating current as is done from 'street power' to domestic power.


Is a property that determines how much current will flow for a given source voltage whereas a is a device that controls the current in a circuit.?

Resistance is the property that determines how much current will flow for a given source voltage, measured in ohms. A resistor is a passive electronic component that is used to control the current in a circuit by offering a specific amount of resistance to the flow of electricity.


What instrument is used to measure amperage?

A: it is actually a meter that reads voltage caused by current flow. Basically any voltmeter can measure current flow by measuring the voltage drop across a very small [in value ] shunt Resistance's AC the current can be measured by induction on a coil


What controls the flow of an electric current?

The flow of electric current is controlled by factors such as the voltage applied, the resistance of the material through which the current passes, and the circuitry design. Components like resistors, capacitors, and switches can also be used to regulate and control the flow of current in a circuit.


What is the difference between diac and diode?

A diode is a component that lets current flow in only one direction. A zener diode has an additional property that current will begin to flow in the reverse direction when a reverse voltage is applied above a certain threshold. This property is generally used for voltage regulation purposes. A diac has similar voltage regulating properties but behaves the same in both directions - current will flow through it when a voltage above it's threshold voltage is applied in either direction. It is therefore useful in AC as well as DC circuits. Below the threshold voltage the diac will be off - no current will flow. A diac is electrically similar to a neon bulb or gas regulator tube.


Which item would not increase voltage and generate an electrical current?

A simple resistor would not increase voltage or generate an electrical current. Resistors are used to limit the flow of current in a circuit and dissipate energy in the form of heat, but they do not add energy to the system. Therefore, they cannot increase voltage or generate electrical current on their own.


What does the voltage vs current graph represent and how can it be used to analyze the relationship between voltage and current in a circuit?

The voltage vs current graph represents the relationship between voltage (V) and current (I) in a circuit. It shows how the current flowing through a circuit changes in response to changes in voltage. By analyzing this graph, one can determine the resistance of the circuit, as resistance is equal to the slope of the graph (R V/I). This can help in understanding how voltage and current interact in a circuit and how different components affect the flow of electricity.


Do electrons flow through a voltmeter?

The question succeeds brilliantly in avoiding the target cleanly and completely. Of the three units listed, none is used to measure electrical 'current'. The unit of current is the "ampere".


What is the purpose of fixed resistor?

To lower the voltage and amperage in order to better fit the needs of other components.


What will increase the voltage in a circuit?

There is a way to use capacitors to increase the voltage in an ac circuit. It increases it by about 50 %. It was used to increase the voltage going to motors. It is seldom used now that it is much easier to run a higher voltage line into a place of business. It does not work for Direct Current.
