You can put less resistance (more load) on the battery with larger wires, but if you exceed a particular current output for a given duration, you will overheat the battery. To safely increase current output, use two batteries connected in parallel.

Either you increase the voltage, or you reduce the resistance.

Either you increase the voltage, or you reduce the resistance.

Either you increase the voltage, or you reduce the resistance.

Either you increase the voltage, or you reduce the resistance.

If you need to increase the current flown in the circuit when the voltage supplied is unchanged then you have to reduce the resistance of the circuit...

V = IR

so when V is a constant..

reducing R will increase I

Transformers are usually sized to the load. If you need up to 200 amps on the secondary then size the transformer secondary to give you that. By using that 200 amp transformer you can apply many loads until you reach the capacity of the transformer. That is the way that you increase the amperage from the transformer.

AnswerA transformer doesn't increase current. It increases (or decreases) voltage.

The secondary current (i.e. the output current) of a transformer is determined by the load, not by the transformer.

However, you need to check whether that the load current is within the rated current of the transformer, otherwise the transformer will overheat. You can do this by dividing the rated apparent power (expressed in volt amperes) of the transformer by its rated secondary voltage.

By increasing the Voltage or Potential difference in the Circuit. and by decreasing the resistance.

I=V/R

Ampere = Volt / Ohms, so you either increase the voltage, or reduce the total resistance.

What would be the effect of increasing the voltage of the battery?

Ohm's Law states that Voltage = Resistance (Ohms) * Current (Ampere). So when you increase voltage, you increase current.


When voltage increase then current will be?

it depends on what type of load. Motor amperage will drop off as voltage rises. loads such as lights will increase amperage with voltage rise.


Will current increase if the voltage in a circuit is increased?

Ohm's Law states Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage is increased and resistance is constant, current will increase proportionally to the rise in voltage.
