Why do light industry and heavy industry use different voltage?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Heavy industry and light industry use different voltages because usually the heavy industry has larger and more powerful machines, therefore the voltage needs to be higher. On the other hand, if high voltage is used in Light industry, with smaller less powerful machines, it could be very dangerous with risk of fire and harm or death to workers and staff.

A source of DC voltage that converts light to voltage is a?
that is called solar cell which converts light(photons) to D.C voltage .the amplitude of voltage depend on how many solar cell are you joined in seies a solar cell normally produce 0.6-0.7 V D.C
Will a 12 volt light plug into a standard wall outlet?
No, it will cause the bulb to blow. A 12 volt light is DC voltage and your home outlet is AC voltage.
Why is there zero current when a light bulb burns out?
there is no voltage and resistance
What ways can voltage be produced?
Voltages are produced by converting one form of energy into electrical energy. Mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy (voltage and current) by moving a magnet or magnetic coil in proximity with a stationary coil, connected to an electrical circuit. A voltage can also be produced with a chemical reaction. Batteries and fuel cells convert energy in specially designed cells, where a chemical reaction causes a voltage to exist across two electrodes implanted at two different parts of the cell. A voltage can be produced by the interaction of light on a photocell. The photons of light interacting with atoms in the photocell, cause an electron to be ejected. The special design of the photocell causes this to occur in such a manner as to produce voltage across the cell. A voltage can be produced by subjecting a thermocouple to differential temperature. A thermocouple is a relatively simple device composed of two dissimilar metals, joined together at what is referred to as a thermal junction. If one side of the junction is warm, relative to the other side of the junction, a voltage exists across the junction.

Why is irons and steel industry called basic industry?
The iron and steel Industry is the basic industry because: i. All the other industries - heavy, medium and light, depend on it for their machinery. ii. Steel is needed to manufacture a variety of engineering goods, construction material, defence, medical, telephonic, scientific equipment and a variety of consumer goods. iii. Iron and steel is a heavy industry because all the raw materials as well as finished goods are heavy and bulky. It involves heavy transportation costs.
Different meaning of the homograph light?
