You cannot increase amperage without changing voltage or resistance.
Ohm's law states that voltage is current times resistance. You cannot change one alone.
Not even changing frequency in a capacitive or inductive circuit will do this, because changing frequency represents a change in reactance, which is effectively a change in resistance.
The correct term is 'current', not 'amperage'. The answer is that nothing will happen to the resistance. Having said that, changing the resistance will cause current to change for a fixed value of voltage.Resistance is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of a material. Resistivity is affected by temperature, so resistance is also therefore indirectly affected by temperature. Only by changing one of these variables will the resistance change.Since the ratio of voltage to current will tell us what the resistance of a circuit happens to be (it's not affected by that ratio) for a particular ratio, the ratio will increase (as per your question) if the resistance increases. But it's not the ratio that's affecting resistance, its the resistance affecting the ratio!
By changing the length of wire, say reducing it, the resistance will drop and that will increase current flow but the voltage is less likely to change V=IR.
No, the resistance in a circuit does not change when voltage changes. Resistance is an inherent property of the circuit.
Ohm's law states that the voltage across a resistor is the product of the current times the Resistance or V=I x R (I times R). V is Voltage, R is Resistance, and I is Current or Amperage. So if the Voltage is doubled and Resistance stays the same, the Current will be doubled.
a. amperage and voltage b. the size and length of the wires c. voltage and resistance d. fuses and circuit breakers
If voltage remains constant and resistance is increased, the amperage will decrease per Ohm's Law.
no it is not possibleAnswerYes, by changing the voltage OR the resistance.
Increase resistance.
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 depends on what type of load. Motor amperage will drop off as voltage rises. loads such as lights will increase amperage with voltage rise.
Ohms Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage rises, so will current.

It will increase the current since the water heater is made of a heating element and which is resistive in nature. Ohms law states that V=IR where V is the voltage, I the current and R the resistance. Now the resistance will always remain constant. Thus, when the voltage is increased, the current will also increase.
To increase (current) flow in a circuit you increase voltage (or decrease resistance). Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance
A multimeter.
In general, increased resistance will lower current draw. See ohm's law (V = IR)
