Does current or voltage actually perform the work in a circuit?

I would say both. Power (energy, or work, per unit time) can be calculated with the formula:
P = IV (power = current x voltage)

When does the electric current flow?
An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).
If you multiply the voltage in a circuit by the current what are you going to get for your answer?
Voltage x current = power (watts)
What is the relationship between voltage and current in an inductive circuit?
Current lags voltage in an inductive circuit. The angle by which it lags depends on the frequency of the AC, and on the relative size of the inductance compared to the resistance in the circuit.
In a series circuit what happens to the current if you increase the number of components in the circuit?
The current (amps) will remain constant, but the voltage will drop.
What effect does an increase in current have on voltage?
That depends on the circuit - but note that in almost all real circuits the current is the dependent variable - you control the voltage and the current sets itself.
As the voltage applied to a circuit increases the current and the also increase?
answer is actually voltage
Which actually does work in circuit voltage or current?
Power (energy per time unit) actually depends on both. In a DC circuit, it is the product of voltage and current. In an AC circuit, it is the product of voltage x current x (power factor). The power factor is often close to 1.
What is the relationship among voltage circuit and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
If voltage changes in a ac circuit what happens to current?
Voltage attempts to make a current flow, and current will flow if the circuit is complete. It is possible to have voltage without current, but current cannot flow without voltage. The answer is "yes",voltage remains the same as current moves through the circuit.As the voltage remains constant, current increases in the circuit.
If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage 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)
What is the relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
What is voltage error circuit and current error circuit?
A voltage error circuit is called an error amplifier and happens when there are discrepancies between the voltage output and the reference voltage. A current error circuit happens when there is a disruption of flow in an ammeter.
A circuit with a lagging current means the circuit is?
Inductive. Voltage (E) leads current (I) in an inductive (L) circuit and current (I) leads voltage (E) in a capacitive (C) circuit. (ELI the ICEman)
What cause the voltage t lead current in an ac circuit?
Voltage leads current or, more specifically current lags voltage, in an inductive circuit. This is because an inductor resists a change in current.
How will you convert a open current circuit to a open voltage circuit?
The first thing you need to know is the internal resistance of the current source, the voltage source will have the same internal resistance. Then compute the open circuit voltage of the current source, this will be the voltage of the voltage source. You are now done.
