The device you are referring to is called a transformer. Not only can a transformer increase voltage, it can decrease voltage as well. These are known as a step up transformer for increasing voltages and step down for decreasing voltages.

What is a device that changes electric current into a different voltage?

Nothing can change electric current to voltage. You can compare "current " to rate of flow, while "voltage" is the energy level. Transformers can be used to increase or decrease the voltages of alternating current as is done from 'street power' to domestic power.

What is controlled voltage?

RPS is only the voltage& power controlled device. it can only used for set the input for our wish A device which can change its output according to the voltage supplied to it is called a voltage controlled device.ex. a voltage controlled current source,or a field effect transistor. In a voltage controlled current source the output current changes as the voltage supplied to it changes.


Device than changes the ratio of current to voltage?

A transformer. it steps up / down voltage, and steps down / up current.
