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

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.
 
I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
