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.

Assuming no change in the resistance of the circuit, the current must increase if the voltage drops, and the current must decrease if the voltage increases.

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.


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 happens to voltage and current in series circuits?

Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed sums of the voltage drops in a series circuit add up to zero.Kirchoff's current law states that the current everywhere in a series circuit is the same, more specifically, that the signed sums of the currents entering a node is zero.

If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?

It is halved. coz voltage=current * resistance


What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges?

What happens to the current in a circuit as a capacitor charges depends on the circuit. As a capacitor charges, the voltage drop across it increases. In a typical circuit with a constant voltage source and a resistor charging the capacitor, then the current in the circuit will decrease logarithmically over time as the capacitor charges, with the end result that the current is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is the same as the voltage source.


How the current in a circuit changes if the voltage in the circuit is decreased and the resistance remains the same?

If the ratio of voltage to current is constant, then the circuit is obeying Ohm's Law. If the ratio changes for variations in voltage, then the circuit does not obey Ohm's Law.


When an alternating voltage is applied to purely resistive circuit what happens?

When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive circuit, the resulting current is in phase with the voltage.


What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?

Voltage remains constant; current increases.


When resistance is in a circuit what happens to the current?

When you add resistance to a circuit, current goes down. Ohm's Law: current = voltage divided by resistance.


What happens if you double the number of batteries used in a circuit?

the voltage and current doubles


When voltage increases what happens to current?

Ohm's law states that "The current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit."AnswerIf the voltage across a circuit increases, then the current will increase too. If the ratio of voltage to current is constant for variations in voltage, then the circuit is described as being 'linear' and is obeying Ohm's Law; if the ratio of voltage to current changes (as it would, for example, with tungsten) for variations in voltage, then the circuit is described as being 'non-linear', and is not obeying Ohm's Law. This is because Ohm's Law is not universal, and only applies to certain materials; in fact, most materials and electronic devices do not obey Ohm's Law.
