Electricity is a source of energy that is encaved into something that holds electrons (example:alkaline battery) and when electricity is increased, the electrons are a greater amount. Now, electric ciruits can run out, so you can add other multiple batteries ito a circuit to increase its volume. When you add them in paralell they stay the same voltage, but at a strong consistent rate, and when you just connect them in a ciruit, you will get a very high voltage. This is the only way for electricity to increase (for all I know) for it to decrease in batteries, it simply looses all its electrons and have nautrons or protons left. Batteries run out because of the chemical reaction inside the batteries. That's why you cant recharge most of the cheap ones!

A reduction in resistance or an increase in voltage will increase an electric current.

I = V/R

I (current) = V (voltage)/R (resistance) so if V goes up and R is same, I goes up. If R goes down and V stays the same, then I goes up.

Load reduction; it normally causes voltage to increase.

On the bulk electric system, many things can cause this - adding capacitor banks, removing inductor banks, modifying the way generators are operating (lagging VAR means it is pushing out real power + capacitive reactive power, leading means real power + inductive reactive power = pulls voltage down like inductors do), and changing taps on Transformers or voltage regulators.

The current in a pair of wires is set by the supply voltage at one end and the load power at the other end. Increasing the voltage or connecting a more powerful load would increase the current.

The demand of the circuit's connected load is what increases the current in the circuit's conductor. Using a motor for example; as the load that the motor is driving increases, so does the motor's current increase. This increase can rise to the motors rated amperage. If the load that the motor is driving continues to increase the motor will be placed in an overload condition. This means that the amperage that the motor is drawing is over what the manufacturer recommends for its full load amperage. At this point the motor's overload protection will take over and disconnect the motor from its power source.

What are some ways to increase the magnetic field around a wire?

There's only one way to do that: Increase the current (amperes) in the wire.

If You wrap a wire around a piece of iron. If you slowly increase the strength of an electric current flowing through the wire you would expect .?

The temperature of the wire will increase and eventually like the "straw breaking the camel's back" the wire will fail if you apply enough current. It is like exceeding the current in a fuse, the wire essentially disintegrates.


What happens to the magnetic field if the current in the wire increases?

If the current in the wire increases, the magnetic field also increases.


Does increasing current on a wire increase the magnetic force acting on it?

Only if the wire is running perpendicular to a magnetic field.


What happens to the electric current when the wire is made smaller?

If wire delivering a certain amount of current is made narrower, the resistance of the wire will increase. This will limit current, and the wire will warm up some. If the wire is made shorter, resistance will decrease. The electrical codes have well published limits on the amount of current different types of wire can carry.


How do you increase the magnetic field in a coil?

Magnetism requires mass of some sort. Smaller magnet, smaller field. I would think that the same holds true with the wire. In the field of electromagnetism you will be dealing with a power requirement to achieve desired strength of field. So, to give you my best answer to your question is to increase the electrical input. If the wire is already magnetic, get a thicker diameter magnetic wire.
