One of the holes is a power wire and the other is a ground. Without both you have no voltage. As soon as the power wire is grounded either through the other side of the circuit or by some careless human you have 110 volts.

What is the potential difference between the two holes in a wall socket?

The potential difference between the two holes in a standard wall socket in the US is 120 volts.


What is the difference between heavy hole and light hole in semiconductor physics?

In semiconductor physics, heavy holes and light holes are types of charge carriers with different effective masses. Heavy holes have a larger effective mass and move more slowly than light holes in a semiconductor material. This difference in mobility affects the electronic properties of the material, such as conductivity and energy levels.


Why 0.3 voltage in germanium diode?

the reason for 0.3V as barrier potential in Ge is:- Electrons near the junction drift into the P region and recombine with holes. At the junction, the P-side has a layer of negative charges or negative ions (since p-type material is electrically nuetral addition of an electron makes it a negative ion). At the junction, the N-side has given up electrons thus creating holes i.e. it has positive charges or positive ions.This ion build up creates an area that is depleted of any conduction electrons or holes i.e. it has positive charges or positive ions cancelled out by negative charges or negative ions This ion build up creates an area that is depleted of any conduction electrons or holes. This represents a potential difference of 0v to 0.3v volts Ge diodes Semiconductor devices are controlled by controlling the depletion region of the device. The potential difference is called the barrier potential. It's basically what makes the semiconductor work, so its a really good question.


What is the relationship between vacuum energy and black holes?

Vacuum energy is a concept in quantum physics that suggests empty space is not truly empty but contains energy. Black holes, on the other hand, are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. The relationship between vacuum energy and black holes is complex and not fully understood, but some theories suggest that vacuum energy may play a role in the behavior of black holes, influencing their formation and properties.


What is the difference between space physics and Astro physics?

Space physics focuses on the study of phenomena within the Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere, while astrophysics focuses on the study of phenomena outside of Earth, such as stars, galaxies, and black holes. Space physics deals more with Earth's immediate environment, while astrophysics deals with the broader universe.

The voltage difference between the two holes in a wall socket is?

In alternating current, the line voltage (one side) would be 110 to 120 volts and the neutral side would be 0. However, one side carries current in and the other out so you need both sides to operate correctly and current will flow through the item that is plugged in to the outlet.

Have a voltage difference across the two holes of an electrical outlet and a generator at a power plant provides this voltage difference?

First of all, let's get the terminology correct -there is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'. 'Voltage' is another word for 'potential difference', so 'voltage difference' would mean 'potential difference difference', which doesn't make any sense! So you should be referring to the voltage across the holes of an outlet, not the 'voltage difference' across those holes.The voltage produced by a generator in the power station produces a much greater voltage (up to 30 000 volts) than the voltage that appears across your outlet (120 V in North America or 230 V in Europe). Furthermore the generator's voltage gets increased even higher (hundreds of thousands of volts) before the electricity transmission can take place. Eventually, those high voltages are reduced, using transformers, until it reaches your outlet.

Define pinch off voltage and the gate source cut off voltage?

If negative voltage is applied to the gate of a NMOS, it repels electrons from the channel region towards the bulk of the p-substrate and attaract holes from p-substrate towards the channel. The recombination between holes and electrons causes a deplation of majority carriers in the channel. Enough nagative gate voltage can cause the channel depleted of majority carriers and cuts off the current between the source and the drain. The least negative gate voltage causing this is called gate-source cut off voltage.
