Electrons cannot flow in a particular direction(current)it moves randomly without external voltage or potential,hence there is no net electric current.hence we need a external potential to drift electrons in a particular direction.

What is the Primary function of a voltage follower circuit?

Its purpose is to provide approximately the same voltage to a load as what is input to the amplifier, but at a much greater current. In other words, it has no voltage gain, but it does have current gain.


What is the current that flows through an unloaded voltage divider?

The current that flows through an unloaded voltage divider is very small, close to zero. This is because there is no load connected to the output of the divider, so there is nowhere for the current to flow. The purpose of a voltage divider is to divide the input voltage between the two resistors, not to pass current.


Can you use the lighting voltage for commercial purpose?

yes we can use yes we can use


Why do you always use voltage source in lab not current source?

Current is created by voltage (potential difference), not the other way round. It's the voltage - or 'push' - that is making your current move.


What is the purpose of constant voltage transformer?

The term 'constant voltage transformer' is used to differentiate the operation of transformers that are intended to change voltage levels, from those intended to change current levels -a current transformer (CT), for example, is termed a 'constant current transformer'.


Which electrical component regulates current and voltage?

People have used a ballast for current regulation and you can use a breakdown diode for voltage regulation.


How relay used for protection purpose?

Relay are operated by small current /voltage connected to Secondary side of Current Transformer and /or Voltage Transformer. The signal stimulates the magnetic substance nearby with the attracting force. This closes or opens the circuit being used in protection purpose.


What is the practical purpose of a voltage converter?

A voltage converted can allow you to use electronics from other countries that you wouldn't normally use. Also, incorrect voltage can damage machines.


What is the use of resistor in the circuit?

A resistor develops a voltage differential when current is passed through it. Ohm's law: Voltage is current times resistance.


How can you calculate the current an appliance can use?

To calculate the current an appliance can use, divide the power rating of the appliance (in watts) by the voltage it operates on (in volts). The formula is: Current (in amperes) = Power (in watts) / Voltage (in volts). This calculation will give you the maximum current the appliance can draw under normal operating conditions.
