Ohm's law: V = I * R for a given temperature.
The question seems to indicate we are not going to vary R. That leaves changing V. Increasing the voltage will increase the current. If the voltage is fixed too, we can lower the temperature of the conductor (most materials increase in resistance with rising temperature).

∙ 13y agoIn a conductive material, the electrons are easily shared between atoms, and they will randomly 'jump' back and forth between atoms. When a voltage is applied to the conductor, electrons are repelled from the negative voltage, and attracted towards the positive voltage.
It's like children on a housing estate. If each house had 1 child and it was kept at home, then it's like an insulator where electrons can't move about. But if the children are allowed out in the street they can move freely around, that's like a conductor where the electrons can move about. Put an ice cream van at one end, and a school at the other a current can flow (the van would have to carry them back to school, completing the circuit).

Is electrode and conductor same?
No. Electrodes are the positive and negative terminals in and open circuit. A conductor is a substance that an electric current will pass through. Electrodes are usually made of a conductor.
How is wearing rubber soled shoes an example of electric charge?
It is not. Rubber is a bad conductor of electricity so it does not let an electric current pass through it.
How does it eletricity flow?
Electricity flows through a circuit. There has to be a conductor that will pass the electric current from one point to another.
If alternate current is pass trough electric bell will it ring?
if alternate current is pass through electric bell will it ring?
Why steel becomes a permanent magnet after electric current is passed through it?
Electric current is magnetic so when electric current pass through steel , steel will have the electric power and may be magnetic for awhile
What does electric current pass easily through?
it can easily pass through a wire a conductor or a battery
What is the wire called that an electric current pass through?
It is also known as a conductor.
Is this sentence incorrect any material that allows an electric current to pass through is called a battery?
Incorrect. Any material that allow electric current to pass through it is a conductor.

How is conductor different from insulator?
A conductor has a free electron to which current can pass through
How is conductor different from an insulator?
A conductor has a free electron to which current can pass through
What is a electrcial conductor?
"A substance which allows electric current to pass through it is called a electric conductor". Or, "A substance which has free electrons is called electric conductor." There are some exceptions to these two statements: viz. diodes and triodes, which conduct under special conditions but not under all conditions.
What material allows electric current to pass through?
Electric current flows in conducting materials such as metals. The best conductor of electric current is silver, followed closely by copper and then aluminium.
A substance that lets electric charge pass through it is known as what?
A Conductor.
Why is rubber a poor conductor of heat?
because it is not where electric not pass through
