Should you increase voltage or resistance to increase flow in a circuit?
To increase (current) flow in a circuit you increase voltage (or decrease resistance). Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance
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.
What is the relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
What happens to voltage when resistance increases?
Ohm's law states that "The current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit." <<>> if resistor exists, resistance decreases according to ohm's law, current is directly proportional to voltage and current is inversely proportional to resistance it means as current increases, voltage increases. resistance increases, current decreases so as voltage if there is no resistor, there should be no resistance except internal resistance of voltmeter and ammeter
If the resistance in the circuit is increased what will happen to the current and voltage?
* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.

If the resistance decreases in a circuit when the voltage remains constant the current will?
Current will increase
What happens to the current in a circuit if the resistance is increase?
If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.
What is added to a circuit to make the current smaller?
The reduction of voltage or the increase of resistance will reduce the current in a circuit.
What is a relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)

Does the current ina circuit increase with increase in temperature?
Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.
What is external resistance?
External voltage is the ration when there is an increase in current and voltage. If you apply voltage to the outside of a circuit and need to figure out the amount of current flow, that would be the external resistance.
What will cause an increase in current flow in a simple series circuit?
Increase current by either increasing the voltage or decreasing the resistance.
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.
