According to Ohms law, current will increase in proportion to the voltage increase. Ohms law is an equation:
Voltage = current x resistance.
If the resistance stays the same, any increase in voltage must mean a proportional increase in current according to this equation.

∙ 13y agoIt can't. "Ohm's Law" is very simple, and has been known for a long time.
It tells us simply:
I = E / R
The current is the ratio of voltage to resistance. If neither of those changes,
then current doesn't change.

∙ 15y agoYes. The current will vary depending on the varied resistive load placed on a fixed voltage. Lower the resistance, and current will increase.

∙ 12y agoOhm's Law provides the answer: Volts = Current x Amps
HINT - When resistance is constant, Voltage and Current changes are proportional.

Can the amount of energy carried by a power line be increased by raising voltage?
Yes, by increasing the voltage in a power line, the amount of energy carried can be increased. This is because power (P) is the product of voltage (V) and current (I), and increasing the voltage while keeping the current constant will result in higher power carrying capacity. However, it is important to consider the limitations of the equipment and the safety considerations when increasing voltage levels.
Why Does resistance cause voltage drop?
According to Ohm's law i.e. E=IR. When we increase resistance, keeping current constant, voltage will increase as in the above formula since E and R are directly proportional.
If voltage constant when the current increases what does the resistance do?
In an electric circuit, ratio of current and voltage is constant which is known as the resistance of the circuit. If voltage or current is to be changed the resistance has to be changed. You cannot keep an invariable resistance in the circuit and increase current while keeping voltage as constant.Hence to vary the voltage or current in a circuit different equipments like rheostat,potentiometer are used.
How do you change time constant of capacitor?
In theory ... on paper where you have ideal components ... a capacitor all by itself doesn't have a time constant. It charges instantly. It only charges exponentially according to a time constant when it's in series with a resistor, and the time constant is (RC). Keeping the same capacitor, you change the time constant by changing the value of the resistor.
What happen to current in a circuit if the voltage is not charge but the resistance is doubled?
The current in the circuit will be decreased by half. Ohm's law states V=IR so, I=V/R. If R is doubled, then I= V/2R.
How you increase current by keeping voltage constant?
If you are referring to a simple circuit, you could add resistance throughout it. Increased resistance means decreased current flow yet the same voltage.
How do you boost current by keeping voltage constant?
in crease resistence
What would happen to the potential difference if the resistance stays constant and the current increases?
According to ohms law (V=IR)if voltage is increased the current also increases keeping the resistance same .In other words, to keep values on the both sides of equal sign current must increase with the voltage when the resistance is constant. For example: if R=1 and V=2 then I=2 and if voltage is increased to 4 then current also increases with voltage to 4.CONCLUSION:V IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO I KEEPING THE R CONSTANT
What will always increase voltage?
increasing resistance and keeping current constant
What actions will always increase voltage?
increasing resistance and keeping current constant
Define stability factor?
beta is defined as the rate of change of collector current (Ic) with respect to the collector leakage current (Ico) keeping beta and (VBE) constant also (IB) constant.
Is there a relation between capacitance and amps?
q=cv so current changes with change in voltage keeping c constant
Will decreasing the resistance in a circuit decrease current flow if voltage is kept constant?
You should answer this question yourself by doing a couple of examples using Ohm's law I=E/R (current equals voltage divided by resistance. Here they are: Base circuit: 10 volt supply feeding a 10 ohm resistor calculate the current... New circuit: 10 volt supply (voltage kept constant) feeding a 20 ohm resistor (increased resistance) calculate the current... Did the current increase, or decrease? This way you can prove to yourself the answer!
How do you keep your body constant?
you keep your body constant by, keeping the levels of sugar levels and keeping your body warm and keeping it at the level
Can the temperature of a gas be increased keeping its pressure and volume constant?
No. If the temperature of a gas increases at least one of the other two values must increase as well.
What is the relationship between the voltage and the current when the resistance is kept constant?
Ohm's Law: voltage = current * resistance. If resistance is a constant, then voltage is directly proportional to current.
What is mean by regulator in electronics circuits?
A regulator holds something (e.g. voltage, current) in a circuit constant (aka regulates it), that otherwise would not stay constant as the circuit operates. Keeping this constant is critical to proper operation of the circuit, thus the need for its regulation.
