Yes.
Voltage is equal to amperage time resistance. V=IR Therefore, I'd say voltage times amperage is equal to amperage squared times resistance. VI=IIR Really there's no point in multiplying the two. However, if you were to divide voltage by amperage, you would have the resistance of the circuit. V/I=R
It makes no difference whether the circuit is parallel, series or complex. The number of electrons travelling (or oscillating back and forth for AC) is determined by the current (amps). 1 amp = 1 coulomb/second. 1 coulomb = the charge represented by 6.24150962915265 x 1018 electrons. The current in each leg of a parallel circuit has to be worked out separately.
To find the circuit's capacity you have to look at the breaker or fuse that protects that circuit. On the handle of the breaker you will see a number. that number is the tripping capacity of that particular breaker. On a glass screw in fuse you will see a coloured disk with a number on it that is the capacity that the fuse can handle before opening the circuit. On cartridge fuses the voltage and amperage rating will be printed on the body of the fuse.
No, a double pole 50 amp breaker protects a 240 volt supply at 50 amps. The number that is on the handle of the breaker is the amperage that the breaker will trip at if an overload occurs on the circuit.
The gauge of wire is referenced to the capacity of a wire to carry amperage and has nothing to do with the voltage. The voltage of a wire is determined by the type of insulation that surrounds the wire. The size of the wire is determined by the amperage of the load and the distance from the supply.
Amperage.
The amperage of the circuit increases and the voltage drop across the appliances will tend to increase.
A resistance 'network' consists of a number of resistors connected together in series, or in parallel, or in series-parallel, or as a complex circuit. A 'complex' circuit is one that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel.

The voltage stays the same as a single battery but the amperage multiplies by the number of batteries in the circuit. Example: Three 12 volt batteries with a CCA or 300 amps each wired together in parallel will produce 12 volts and 900 CCA.

Some key differences between a Serial and Parallel Adder are that a Serial Adder is slower, a Parallel adder is a combinational circuit and the time required for addition depends on the number of bits in a Serial, but not a Parallel. A Serial Adder is a sequential circuit while a Parallel is a combinational circuit.
As the number of bulbs in a series circuit increases, the current decreases. As the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increases, the current increases.
by adding resistance in parallel more current is bound to flow
In a parallel circuit voltage remains constant but current will vary with the number of branches (resistors). Remember that Current(amps)=V/R.
You add up the currents in each branch. The current in each branch is just (voltage acrossd the parallel circuit)/(resistance of that branch) . ==================================== If you'd rather do it the more elegant way, then . . . -- Write down the reciprocal of the resistance of each branch. -- Add up the reciprocals. -- Take the reciprocal of the sum. The number you have now is the 'effective' resistance of the parallel circuit ... the single resistance that it looks like electrically. -- The total current through the parallel circuit is (voltage acrossd the parallel circuit)/(effective resistace of the parallel circuit) .
