Think of Voltage as the pressure and Amperage (current) as flow. If you think of it as pipes with water then the pressure would be voltage, and current would be how much water flows past a certain point in the pipe in a given time.

What is the meaning of voltage control device and current control device y they call like this?

In vcd, input voltage controls the output current.e.g.jfet In ccd , input current controls the output current. e.g. bjt


What is Meaning of diode rating?

There are two diode ratings. One is the forward current rating, and the other is the reverse breakdown voltage rating. The forward current rating is the maximum current that the diode can conduct before failing, and the reverse breakdown voltage rating is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied before failing. Of course, the reverse voltage rating has a different meaning in a zener diode, but this answer applies to ordinary diodes.


What is the meaning of current lags voltage?

'Current lags voltage' means that in the AC cycle the voltage peaks and the current peaks a little time (a fraction of a cycle) later. This happens with electrical loads like motors. When the current lags, there is a small period in each half-cycle when the voltage has reversed and the current has not reversed yet. This causes power to flow back into the supply from the load. So there is a loss of average power fed to the load for a given voltage and current. In this situation the power is the voltage times the current times the power factor, and the power factor is the cosine of the angle by which the current lags the voltage (counting 360 degrees as a full cycle).


Can there be a current with no voltage?

No, There can't Be current without voltage


If voltage changes in a ac circuit what happens to current?

Voltage attempts to make a current flow, and current will flow if the circuit is complete. It is possible to have voltage without current, but current cannot flow without voltage. The answer is "yes",voltage remains the same as current moves through the circuit.As the voltage remains constant, current increases in the circuit.

Voltage is a measure of the E.M.F (electromotive force) which drives current around a circuit.


In an electric circuit what provides the push?

You could consider the Voltage as the pushing force in a circuit. It drives the current.


Whether high impedance drives the currecnt or voltage more?

No, This will act in reverse.Note: This will act only for alternating current and there will be no effect on direct current.


What is the meaning of DC Voltage?

D.C. stands for direct current. A.C. is alternating current.


What is the value of a resistance if 20v drives 2a through it?

Simply divide the voltage by the current. This means you apply Ohm's Law.


What is more is correct v is proportional to i or i is proportional to v?

The induced current is proportional to applied voltage. i is proportional to v Or you might say, "A current source drives a fixed current through a circuit. Then the voltage developed is proportional to i" . Both forms are equally correct. Voltage sources are more common than current sources so the first form is more common.
