    Currents Volts
AI Thread Summary
A current of 0.1 to 0.2 volts is often misunderstood, as voltage represents potential difference rather than current itself. The discussion emphasizes that without context, such as its application in amplifiers or transistors, this voltage range lacks inherent significance. Voltage is defined as the potential difference, while current is calculated using the formula current equals voltage divided by resistance. The conversation highlights the need for specificity when discussing electrical concepts. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate communication in electronics.

what's special about a 0.1 to 0.2 volts current?
thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
0.1 volt is not a current. Its a potential difference.
 
if you know please explain,thanks

Know what? Your question is too vague to be answered. Be specific.
 
There is nothing inherently special about 0.1 to 0.2 volts (potential) or current flow( amperes)...unless you specify a particular situation...such as noise in an amplifier or bias of a transistor.
 
Volt V is the unit of potential. Current means V/R i.e,voltage/resistance.
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
