A voltage, or potential difference, is what causes current to flow through a circuit. So all devices (called 'loads') require a voltage applied to them.
To have an electrical current, you need a source of voltage (e.g., battery), a complete circuit (including conductive material), and a load (device that uses the electricity).
transformer.
The device is called a "variac' and it is a type of transformer. It has a variable voltage ouput.
AC stands for alternating current, and DC is direct current. A motor is a device that uses electrical energy to spin. An AC motor uses AC voltage, and a DC motor uses DC voltage. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Difference-Between-AC-and-DC-Electric-Motors&id=193767
Every 'electrical generator' does that.
Brazil uses a voltage of 127 volts for its electrical systems.
Iceland uses a voltage of 230 volts for its electrical system.
Israel uses a voltage of 230 volts for its electrical system.
An ohmmeter works by sending a small amount of electrical current through the component being tested and measuring the voltage drop across it. The ohmmeter then uses Ohm's Law (VIR) to calculate the resistance of the component based on the current and voltage readings.
An electrical relay uses a low voltage, low current signal to control an electromagnet. When current passes through the electromagnet, it attracts the spring loaded arm with contactors, which will touch some stationary contactors, closing a circuit on a higher voltage/high current circuit. An example of this is when your thermostat 'tells' the air conditioner to turn on. The voltage & current from the thermostat are low, while the voltage & current necessary to run the air conditioner's compressor are high..
electrical and electronic is the same thing your TV uses electricity
A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is called a generator. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to produce an electric current when a mechanical force, such as rotation, is applied to it.
