An increase in resistance in a circuit will cause?

In a simple circuit, lowering the voltage will not cause the resistance to do anything. Lowering the voltage will, however, cause the current to also lower.This ignores temperature coefficient. If there is substantial power involved, a typical bulb, for instance, will grow cooler and its resistance will decrease when you lower the voltage, but that is usually a small effect.


When tempratere increase resistance increase and when resistance increase current decrease why?

That's what "resistance" is all about: reducing the current for a given voltage. In fact, you can DEFINE resistance as voltage divided by current.


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


When resistance increase the current does what?

The current decreases.


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.


Will the resistance of a copper conductor decrease with an increase in the applied voltage?

If all environmental conditions remain constant then the resistance will not change appreciably with applied voltage, but the current will increase. An increase in current will raise the temperature of the conductor which will increase the resistance somewhat.


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.


When resistance decreases what happens to current?

Based on the simplest Electrical Equation V = I * R,(reads: voltage equals current multiplied by resistance)then, rearranged I = V / R .As resistance decreases, current flow proportionately increases


What effect in resistace to oppose the current?

Increase resistance lowers current


When resitance increases current does what?

Current goes down with an increase in resistance.


If the current increases what happens to resistance?

An increase in current will only affect resistance if it causes the temperature of the conductor to change. For pure metallic conductors, and increase in temperature will cause an increase in resistance.


Does current increase as resistance is increased?

current decreases because there is more resistance ( restistance stops currents)
