Question

Find the true statement.

(a) A Van de Graff generator produces large voltage and less current

(b) A Van de Graff generators produces large resistance and less voltage

(c) A Van de Graff generators produces large current and large resistance

(d) A Van de Graff generators produces large current and less voltage

This question was addressed to me at a job interview.

Asked question is from Van de Graff Generator topic in section Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) A Van de Graff generator produces large voltage and less current

Explanation: A Van de Graff generators produces large voltage and less current. A Van de Graff generator is an electrostatic generator which creates very high electric potentials. It produces very high voltage direct current electricity at low current levels.
