Knobs and switches on its World Core synthesizer module adjust the game machine's maps, graphics, characters and even physics through voltage tweaks.

Instead, the coil is pulled through the external magnetic field, which induces a voltage across it.

It turns out people just prefer thinner phones (or at least initially they do), and therefore HTC chose to take a holistic approach to improving battery life through power management optimization, choice of power density, choice of voltage and many more.

Applying a voltage to the gate determines whether or not current can flow through the channel.

When the transistor switches, the change in voltage alters the electronic properties of the material and determines whether or not electrons can flow through it.
