How does resisitance affect currents?
The higher the resistance the less current can pass through therefore the current will be lower.
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
Does electricity shock you more when the voltage is lower?
The sensation from a shock is due to current flowing through your body, not the voltage. You can have a high voltage and low current and not get hurt. A Tesla Coil is an example. As the voltage gets lower your body still obeys Ohm's Law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. If the resistance of your body remains constant as the voltage gets lower, the current will be lower. However, there are many variables that determine the effect of a shock on your body. Variables include the type and amount of current (AC or DC) and the path the electricity takes through the body.
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.
A red resistor draws more current than a blue resistor when they are connected to the same battery which resistor has the lower resistance?
The voltage of a battery goes as the current times the resistance (V=IR). Because the voltage is being held constant, the resistor that draws the most current will have the lower resistance.
Why the current flow from higher potential to lower potential?
Current defined as Positive charge flow , flows from higher potential to the lower. Current defined as electron flow, flows from lower potential to higher. In general Potential and Current are defined by positive charge.
When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?
This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.
What is under current relays?
A device that disconnects a circuit when ever it detects the electric current is lower than the rated current.
Why can wire sizes be smaller when higher system voltages are used?
It has to with the fact that when voltages go higher the current goes lower. The lower the current a device draws, the smaller the wire size needs to be to carry that current.
What is a current used for?
A current transformer is an electrical device which is used to transform high current to a lower standardised current for control equipment used to messure current(amps)
Is the current oxygen content of the atmosphere lower higher or about the same as it was millions of years ago?
Lower .
Is the current oxygen content of the atmosphere lower higher or about the same as it was millions years ago?
Lower .
Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower what?
Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower energy.
What letter is used for current?
The uppercase letter "I" is used for DC current, or for the average current; the lowercase letter "i" is used for instantaneous current.
Are current home mortgage rates lower?
In the current economy, home mortgages rates are a lot lower and easier to maintain. With the current economy and low mortgage rates it is also to purchase foreclosed homes at a very low price.
How does resisitance affect currents?

Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
