Edit: great approach to understand the matter: https://youtu.be/BGD-oSwJv3E?is=Fe1FimqTCvN-aY1u
I was looking at some transformers:
But also
If it outputs 12VA (12V * 1A) of apparent power, then it receives/works with (?) 12VA apparent power. That means that the current in my 230V wall outlet is 12 / 230 ≈ 0.05A. Even a button cell can supply 0.15A per hour… This leads my uninitiated head to believe, that it is mainly high voltages that are not compatible with life.
Please advise? 🙃
Very good explanation! Even i understood this, thank you!
Although this part caught my eye:
Wouldn’t you say it can rather be likened with data bandwidth? Like, how much current per time? Because the electricity flows at a constant speed in the medium regardless of voltage or resistance, right?
What do you think?
Yeah you’re right, electricity flows at a constant speed. Throughput is the more fitting word I guess? Bandwidth to me sounds more like a theoretical max throughput.
