Van de Graaff generator produces (a) high voltage and high current (b) high voltage and low current (c) low voltage and low current (d) low voltage and high current

Answer: (b). The dome potential can reach millions of volts. Charge is carried up slowly by the belt, so the current is only a few μ A. So the answer is (b) high voltage and low current.

Van de Graaff generator produces

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

The dome potential can reach millions of volts.
Charge is carried up slowly by the belt, so the current is only a few $\mu$ A.
So the answer is (b) high voltage and low current.
