Voltage, also known as electric potential difference, is the measure of the force that pushes electric charges through a circuit. It is measured in volts (V) and can be thought of as the pressure or energy that drives the flow of electric current.
When a lamp is broken, it means that there is a break in the circuit and the flow of electric current is interrupted. Without a complete circuit, there is no path for the voltage to push the charges through, resulting in no voltage across the broken lamp.
Yes, voltage can still be present in a broken lamp. This is because the voltage is generated by the power source and is still present in the circuit, even if the lamp is broken and not receiving any current.
When a lamp is broken, the voltage remains the same. However, since there is no complete circuit for the voltage to push the charges through, there is no current flowing and the lamp will not light up.
Yes, it can be dangerous to touch a broken lamp with voltage present. This is because the voltage may still be present in the broken circuit and touching it could result in an electric shock. It is important to always exercise caution and seek professional help when dealing with electricity and broken circuits.
