Best Answer

Bias is a permanent voltage, applied to the input of an amplifier device, in order to make it work in the correct area of an amplification curve. Valves (thermionic tubes) and semiconductors (transistors) both use bias in their grid or base connection. A negative swing in the input could put the control input below the working of the device and cause it to switch off. This is undesirable as it will show as distortion. The bias raises the zero point, so that the signal will not turn the device off.

Where does energy leave a circuit?

I assume you mean electricity not energy. The electrical energy doesn't leave the circuit as such it is converted by a component. E.G. A bulb in a circuit will convert the electrical energy into light and some heat.


What does voltage mean in science?

It is defined as electromotive force, and the difference in electrical potential between 2 points in a circuit. It has also been explained as the pressure in an electrical circuit.
