A: Transistor like any diode leaks a very small current. This leakage is specified as Ico tested with the base open. Manufacture specification sheets will have this information for each device that they manufacture.

Does diode flow current in reverse bias?

Diodes will have a small leakage current in reverse bias. In most cases, this current can be considered insignificant and ignored.


Explain what happens when a long straight conductor is moved through a uniform magnetic field at a constant velocity Assuming that the conductor moves perpendicularly to the field?

Interesting question. Because Fleming's right hand rule tells us that a conductor carrying a current perpedicular to a magnetic field will move in a particular direction we know that movement, current and magnetic field are related. So if we take the current away and instead force the conductor to move as described then we would observe a current in the wire. However, you have not said that your conductor is connected in a circuit - in which case the charge carriers in the conductor will tend to one side like a bar magnet.AnswerThe original answer is incorrect. A voltage would be induced into the conductor. No current would flow unless the conductor forms a continuous circuit.


When a compass is placed near a conductor where current flows its needle would deflect what does this indicate?

This proves that a magnetic field is developed around the conductor wen current flows through it...


Equation for resistance in a circuit?

Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current through a conductor. It is defined as the ratio of the potential difference (volts) between the ends of the conductor to the magnitude of the current (amps) through the conductor.

What 's the type of unwanted current flowing in a neutral conductor?

A leakage current to ground indicates that the ground is not truly an earth ground. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is designed to detect such leakage current and cut off the device from its supply voltage.

What are the three main parts of a cable?

The three main parts of a cable are the conductor, which carries the electrical current; the insulation, which encases the conductor to prevent electrical leakage; and the sheath, which provides protection and durability to the overall cable structure.
