What Makes a Current of 0.1 to 0.2 Volts Unique?

In summary, "Currents of .1 to .2 volts" refers to the flow of electric charge between .1 and .2 volts in magnitude. It is measured using a voltmeter and is commonly found in electronic devices. Factors such as resistance, voltage source, and temperature can affect its strength. This unit is also equivalent to 100 to 200 millivolts or 0.1 to 0.2 milliamperes.

0.1 volt is not a current. Its a potential difference.

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.
 

1. What is the definition of "Currents of .1 to .2 volts"?

Currents of .1 to .2 volts refer to the flow of electric charge, measured in volts, that is between .1 and .2 volts in magnitude. It is a unit of measurement used to describe the strength of an electric current.

2. How are "Currents of .1 to .2 volts" measured?

"Currents of .1 to .2 volts" are typically measured using a voltmeter, which is a device that measures the potential difference or voltage between two points in an electrical circuit. The voltmeter is connected in parallel to the circuit and displays the measured voltage in volts.

3. What are some examples of "Currents of .1 to .2 volts"?

Examples of "Currents of .1 to .2 volts" include the low-level currents found in most electronic devices, such as cell phones, laptops, and digital cameras. These currents are usually not strong enough to cause harm to humans, but can power small electronic components and devices.

4. What factors can affect "Currents of .1 to .2 volts"?

The strength of "Currents of .1 to .2 volts" can be affected by various factors, including the resistance of the circuit, the voltage source, and the type of material the current is flowing through. The temperature can also impact the flow of current, as higher temperatures can increase the resistance in a circuit.

5. How does "Currents of .1 to .2 volts" relate to other units of measurement for electric current?

"Currents of .1 to .2 volts" is a relatively low level of electric current and is equivalent to 100 to 200 millivolts (mV). In comparison, 1 volt is equal to 1000 millivolts. It is also equivalent to 0.1 to 0.2 milliamperes (mA), which is a unit of measurement for electric current based on the flow of one ampere (A) of current per 1000 milliseconds (ms).
