How do you increase viscosity?

Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. When temperature decreases Viscosity generally increases. Viscosity generally decreases when the temperature increases.


What happens if a thermistor is heated?

the thermistors respond negatively to the temperature and their resistance decreases with the increase in temperature. Since the resistance of thermistors is dependent on the temperature, they can be connected in the electrical circuit to measure the temperature of the body.

Why does electrical resistance increase with the concentration of a solution?

Generally, because there are more atoms for the electrons to "bump" with.


When the distance between the objects decreases the electrical force increase or decreases?

decreases


When resistance increase the current does what?

The current decreases.


When resistance decreases what happens to current?

Based on the simplest Electrical Equation V = I * R,(reads: voltage equals current multiplied by resistance)then, rearranged I = V / R .As resistance decreases, current flow proportionately increases


What is negative resistance region?

The region where resistance decreases with increase in temperature.


How Resistance increase as you press probes?

Resistance decreases, not increases, as you apply pressure to probes.


What will happen to voltage if resistance decreases?

Nothing, but the current will increase.


Does increasing the resistance increase the electric current?

If the current through a pure metallic conductor causes the temperature of that conductor to rise, then its resistance will increase. A practical example of this is an electric lamp. The cold resistance of a lamp is very much lower than the hot resistance.


If a carbon resistor increases in temperature its resistance will?

This depends on the type of conductor. If the conductor has a positive coefficient the resistance will increase. If the conductor has a negative temperature coefficient the resistance will decrease.


If the resistance decreases in a circuit when the voltage remains constant the current will?

Current will increase
