A transistor can do this... However, a single transistor can not "remember".

It takes several transistors to form one single memory "bit", depending on technology.

We think of computer-memory as bits that in turn form byte.

The basic building block for computers are transistors, but it is the "bit's" they form that can turn electricity on and off, hence forming the binary value of 1 or 0.

Is there more gravitational attraction between you and building or you and your friend?

There is more gravitational attraction between you and the building because the building has more mass.


What is the relationship between the electric field formula and voltage in an electric circuit?

The electric field formula and voltage in an electric circuit are related because voltage is a measure of the electric potential difference between two points in a circuit, and the electric field is the force that causes charges to move between those points. In simple terms, the electric field creates the voltage that drives the flow of electric current in a circuit.


What is the relationship between voltage and electric potential energy difference?

Voltage is a measure of the electric potential energy difference between two points in an electric field. The greater the voltage, the greater the electric potential energy difference between the two points.


Which change increases the electric force between objects?

Increasing the charge on the objects or decreasing the distance between them will increase the electric force between them.
