At the points described the membrane potential (or "voltage") is the resting membrane potential which is around -90mV not 0.

On a standard three prong AC outlet what should the AC voltage measure between neutral and ground?

Zero, or very close to it. If there is a large neutral current flowing, voltage drop on the neutral leg could cause a volt or so to read between the two. If you read full line voltage, the outlet is wired wrong!

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.

Why do large communities use power station?

Not only large communities but small communities as well all have power stations or using the trade vernacular, sub stations. They can be a large as one acre in area or as small as three transformers on a platform between two power poles.The duty of the sub station is to start reducing the voltage from the very high transmission voltage to a more manageable lower voltage. It has to be kept in mind that as the voltage is lowered the size of the equipment to handle the lower voltage becomes lighter because the insulation factor is lowered.When the voltage leaves the substation, the utility company lines are used to transmit the lowered voltage around the community. When the voltage reaches your home it is reduced once again by the transformer on the poles along the street or in underground primary systems by the pad mount transformers that line the street close to the homes property line.


Which diode have characteristics very close to that of an ideal voltage source?

How do you Calculate electric field between circular objects?

It's easy when there are two circular plates close together compared with their diameter. In that case the E-field is the voltage divided by the distance.


Does the neutral wire carry voltage in an electrical circuit?

Yes, the neutral wire in an electrical circuit does carry voltage, but it is typically close to 0 volts compared to the hot wire which carries the higher voltage.


How does an Operational Amp work?

An operational amplifier is an extremely high gain differential voltage amplifier--a device that compares the voltages of two inputs and produces an output voltage that's many times the difference between their voltages. How the operational amplifier performs this subtraction and multiplication process depends on the type of operational amplifier, but in most cases two input voltages control how current is shared between two paths of a parallel circuit. Even a tiny difference between the input voltages produces a large current difference in the two paths--the path that's controlled by the higher voltage input carries a much larger current than the other path. The imbalance in currents between the two paths produces significant voltage differences in their components and these voltage differences are again compared in a second stage of differential voltage amplification. Eventually the differences in currents and voltage become quite large and a final amplifier stage is used to produce either a large positive output voltage or a large negative output voltage, depending on which input has the higher voltage. In a typical application, feedback is used to keep the two input voltages very close to one another, so that the output voltage actually falls in between its two extremes. At that operating point, the operational amplifier is exquisitely sensitive to even the tiniest changes in its input voltages and makes a wonderful amplifier for small electric signals.
