Yes. While it isn't clear what device you are talking about, and different devices have different characteristic curves (for example, a straight line for a resistor), a voltage is required for a current to flow, so if there is no voltage, there won't be any current, either.

Does current flow through wires?

It will flow if there is a voltage. Basically, that implies there is an electric field that attracts or repels charged particles.It will flow if there is a voltage.

What does electricity change into when it passes through the water?

if we add some sulphuric acid or NaOH and then pass electricity through the water, then electrolysis of water takes place and hydrogen and oxygen gases are formed.


What makes the current flow in a circuit?

Electricity can be defined as the flow of negatively charge particles, called electrons. This flow is only possible in conductors (ex. metals) but not in insulators (ex. glass). As the electrons flow, they have to overcome frictional forces. Friction produces heat. The more friction that is encountered, the more heat is generated. So the current passes quite easily through the copper conductors, generating very little heat. As it reaches the load (heater, lamp etc), the resistance is greater so the bulk of the heat is generated here. Electrical energy is being converted to thermal energy.

How electric current passes through conductor?

Electric current passes through a conductor when a voltage is applied across it, creating an electric field that pushes charged particles (electrons) through the material. The electrons move in response to this field, flowing from areas of higher voltage to areas of lower voltage. The amount of current that passes through the conductor depends on the material's conductivity and the applied voltage.


Why must the instantaneous current wave be exact 90 degree out-of phase with the applied voltage waveform across an ideal inductor?

Because the voltage induced is proportional to the rate of change of current, and the maximum rate of change of current occurs at the point where the current waveform is 'steepest' -i.e. as it passes through zero. So, as the current passes through zero, the corresponding value of induced voltage is maximum, which means the voltage and current waveforms are displaced by a quarter of the wavelength, or 90 degrees.


Why voltage leads in Inductor?

Maximum induced voltage occurs when the current is changing at its greatest rate -this occurs when the current passes through zero. Since this voltage acts to oppose current flow, this maximum voltage acts in the negative sense when the current is acting in the positive direction. Since the supply voltage is equal, but opposite, the induced voltage, it is maximum when the current is zero -so leads by 90 degrees.


Why high voltage does not kill?

Its not voltage that kills it is current.High voltage CAN kill, if it can also provide high current (especially if the current comes near the heart as it takes under 1mA to stop the heart which isn't much current).However if the high voltage source is current limited and/or the current only passes through the extremities it is very unlikely to kill.


High voltage by itself does not produce electric shock What does?

Electric shock occurs when high voltage passes through a person's body, typically when they provide a path for the electrical current to flow, such as through their hand or foot. The severity of the shock depends on factors such as the amount of current and the path it takes through the body.


How is battery voltage related to electrical energy?

Voltage is the amount of energy in each coulomb of charge that passes through the battery. This means that the energy is the voltage times the time-integral of the current. For a constant current: E = V I t Where E = Energy in Joules V = Voltage in Volts I = Current in Amps t = time in seconds

How do resistors work in a circuit to regulate the flow of electric current?

Resistors work in a circuit by impeding the flow of electric current, which helps regulate the amount of current that passes through the circuit. They do this by converting electrical energy into heat energy as the current passes through them, which reduces the overall flow of current in the circuit. This helps control the voltage and current levels in the circuit, allowing for proper functioning of electronic devices.


Does the graph of an inverse variation pass through the origin?

Inverse variation does not pass through the origin, however direct variation always passes through the origin.


Does an element split up when a current passes through it?

An element does not split up when a current passes through it. The current causes electrons to flow through the element, but the element remains intact.
