SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies that 0.1 to 0.2 volts refers to a potential difference rather than a current. It emphasizes that voltage (measured in volts) is distinct from current (measured in amperes), which is calculated as voltage divided by resistance (V/R). The participants highlight that without a specific context, such as noise in an amplifier or transistor biasing, there is nothing inherently unique about this voltage range.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrical concepts, specifically voltage and current.
  • Knowledge of Ohm's Law, including the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
  • Familiarity with amplifier circuits and transistor biasing.
  • Basic principles of electrical noise in circuits.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of voltage levels in amplifier circuits.
  • Study transistor biasing techniques and their effects on performance.
  • Learn about electrical noise and its impact on circuit behavior.
  • Explore Ohm's Law in-depth, including practical applications in circuit design.
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, electronics students, and hobbyists interested in understanding voltage and current relationships in circuits.

what's special about a 0.1 to 0.2 volts current?
thanks

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.
