How do we usually think of voltage as the cause and currents the effect?
You apply a voltage across a load and the result is that a current flows through the load. So you must have the voltage present, the cause, before current flow, the effect. Think of voltage as pressure and current as flow.
How much current flow in 1 watt bulb?
Everything Depends on the voltage supply ...... Current flow (Amp) = Watt / Voltage the Current flow will be 1 amp if voltage is 1 V the Current flow will be 0.5 amp if voltage is 2 V the Current flow will be 0.25 amp if voltage is 4 V and so on.......
How many things are needed to create a current?
A difference of potential (voltage) and a conductor connected to the voltage source will cause current flow. Not that you'd want to "short out" a voltage source with a piece of wire, but just the source of voltage and the conductor would permit current to flow. If you took a piece of wire and touched it to the terminals of a good battery, current would flow. It takes just those two things to create a current.
What is mean't by Reverse voltage?
Reverse voltage is voltage is applied in reverse. Instead of the positive voltage going into the anode lead of a component, it goes into the cathode lead of the component.
4 capacitors 2.2uF 3.3uF 4.7uF and 5.6uF are connected in series with a power supply of 200 volts dc what is the voltage across each capacitor what is the formula?
Putting capacitors in series and then applying a DC voltage to them is not entirely useful. The voltage will cause a small current to flow into the capacitors, charging them to a total cumulative voltage of 200V. No further current will flow. If a meter is applied to one of the capacitors it's charge will cause a voltage measurement but it will quickly drop as the current flowing into the meter discharges the capacitor.
How does voltage cause flow in a circuit?
This causes flow because voltage is what powers a circuit
How does voltage cause current to do work?
A voltage will cause electrons or other charge carriers to flow (if there is a path through which they can flow). In other words, it will cause a current.

What is applied to a conductor to cause current flow?
voltage is applied to a conductor to cause a current flow

How does voltage cause current to work?
Voltage provides the "pressure" to push current "flow" through the circuit resistance.

When current flows in a conductor a magnetic field is created. The created magnetic field cuts the conductor which creates a voltage in the conductor. What is this voltage called?
It's called back EMF or reverse EMF. The EMF is electro-motive force, or voltage. What is happening is that the original current flow creates a magnetic field. That field then induces a voltage that opposes the original voltage that is causing the current flow. This back EMF "resists" the original voltage's efforts to cause current flow. If the created magnetic field did not oppose the original "efforts" of the voltage source to make current flow, then it would aid that voltage to make current flow. We would then get something for nothing and perpetual motion would be possible. We can't do that.
What will cause an increase in current flow in a simple series circuit?
Increase current by either increasing the voltage or decreasing the resistance.
Is voltage a flow of electricity?
no...current is a flow of electricity

How much current would an applied voltage of 10 volts cause through a resistance of 5 ohms?
10 volts applied to 5 ohms would cause a current flow of 2 amperes. Current = voltage divided by resistance.
