You can imagine this senario as so: Let's say you have a tank of pressurized water connected to a hose that you are using to water the garden. What happens if you increase the pressure in the tank? You probably can guess that this makes more water come out of the hose. The same is true of an electrical system: Increasing the voltage will make more current flow. Hope that answers you question!

If the voltage applied to a circuit remains constant and the resistance in the circuit is increased the current will?
V = IR Where, V = voltage I = current R = resistance Thus if resistance is increased with constant voltage current will decrease
The amount of current in a circuit can what by increasing the amount of resistance present in the circuit?
No it cant. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So at constant Voltage if the Resistance is increased, Current will reduce
When current remains constant and resistance increases the voltage in the circuit will?
The physical equation governing voltage is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. If V remains constant while R is increased, I or current must decrease. Increasing the resistance in a circuit is simply introducing a material that further resists or impedes the electron flow (current), thus current decreases.
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.
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.
What happens to the current in the circuit if the resistance is increased?
If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.
What happen to the current in a circuit if the resistance is increased?
If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.
If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?
It is halved. coz voltage=current * resistance
If you double both the voltage and the resistance in a circuit what would be the effect on the current?
If you double the voltage in a circuit, the power is quadrupled, assuming the resistance stays the same.
What happens to the voltage if the current increases?
Yes, if the resistance remains constant. Power is voltage times current, and current is voltage divided by resistance, so power is voltage squared divided by resistance. In essence, the power increases as the square of the voltage.
What will increase voltage if current is increased?
a constant resistance
How does current vary with the resistance in the circuit if the voltage is constant?
Inversely. As resistance increases, current dereases; given that the applied voltage is constant.
