Yes, voltage is a kind of electric pressure. It is also called potential. When there is potential difference between any two points, current starts flowing from high pressure point to low pressure point.

FOR EXAMPLE : When there is a difference in air pressure between two regions, air moves from region of low pressure to region of high pressure causing winds

In this case air is the potential and wind is electric current

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.


How does a relay receive a signal about a change in voltage and current on a high voltage circuit?

A relay receives a signal about a change in voltage and current through its control circuit, which is typically isolated from the high voltage circuit. When the voltage or current in the high voltage circuit exceeds a certain threshold, it activates an electromagnetic coil within the relay. This coil generates a magnetic field that moves an armature, closing or opening the relay contacts, thus allowing or interrupting the flow of electricity in the controlled circuit. The relay effectively acts as a switch that responds to the changes in the high voltage circuit while maintaining safe isolation.


How a bucking voltage acts?

bucking voltage is a voltage which is of opposite polarity to the voltage it acts .


Where does the current come from that moves the needle on an analog clamp on meter?

A: Directly from whatever you are measuring as a Small current to move the coil to indicate current flow. That current can be calibrated to read voltage or current on the meter itself


What is voltage transformation ratio?

ratio of secondry voltage to primary voltage is called voltage transformation ratio

What are ways magnets can produce electricity?

If a conductor moves in a magnetic field, a voltage will be induced. This can be tapped to get an electrical current.


What is the name of the pressure that moves electrons in a closed circuit?

The pressure that moves electrons in a closed circuit is called voltage. Voltage creates an electric field that pushes the electrons through the circuit, allowing them to flow from the higher potential to the lower potential.


What is The pushing force that moves through a circuit is called?

The pushing force that moves through a circuit is called voltage. It is the potential difference between two points in the circuit that causes the charge to flow.


What is the particle that moves in the electric current?

The particle that moves in an electric current is an electron. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that flow through conductive materials, like metals, when a voltage is applied.
