First thing voltage does not flow current does. Voltage is the potential or pressure needed to make the current flow.
Current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. To make the current flow you have to adjust the resistance of the circuit and that would be the water in this case. Salt added to water will make the water conductive so the resistance can be adjusted thereby making the current rise or fall depending on the water solution's resistive properties. The equation that you should consider using is Amps = Volts/Resistance.

Current in a parallel circuit?
In any parallel connection The original current gets divided into the parallel branches, however the division is solely based upon the resistances of the parallel paths. Current always tries to flow through the branch having the least resistance. Thus More current will flow in the branch having less resistance and vice-versa. The currents flowing in the parallel branches can be found out by using the current divider rule. Suppose if R1 & R2 are two branches of a parallel connection & i1 & i2 is the current flowing through them respectively. Let 'I' be the original current then the current through R1 can be given as i1=R1/(R1+R2) * I similarly current through R2 can also be calculated.
How much current will flow through a 2.4 kilohm resistor when 7.2 kilovolts is applied?
Divide the voltage by the resistance in order to obtain your answer.
How much current would an applied voltage of 10 volts cause through a resistance of 5 ohms?
10 volts applied to 5 ohms would cause a current flow of 2 amperes. Current = voltage divided by resistance.
How does electrical resistance change the current in a circuit?
Electrical resistance is opposition to electric current flow. There is a resistance to the flow of current. And a "balance" between applied voltage and resistance determines how much current will flow in a circuit. For a given applied voltage, if we increase the resistance, the current flow will decrease. For that same applied voltage, if we decrease the resistance, the current flow will increase. It's a simple relationship, and it is set down by the following expression: E = I x R We can also write it as I = E / R and R = E / I Voltage (in volts) is E, current (in amps) is I, and resistance (in ohms) is R. In the first expression, voltage is equal to current times resistance. For a constant voltage, any increase in resistance will cause a decrease in current flow. And any decrease in resistance will cause in increase in current flow. Just as cited earlier.
How much voltage is necessary to create a flow of 0.24C in 0.8s through a resistance of 500ohm?
r=500
What is used to insure that too much current does not flow through one circuit?
A circuit breaker or a fuse is used to insure that too much current does not flow through one circuit.
How much current flow through 3.5milimeter conductor?
how we decide current throuh conductor
When lightbulbs are connected in a series how much current flows through each one?
same current flow in each bulb
How much current will flow through a 12 ohm resistor if 6 volts are applied across it?
Voltage / Resistance = Current, you do the math
Why can short circuits be dangerous?
Because of a tendency of too much current to flow through part of a circuit.
How much charge flow through a light bulb in 4 second when the current is 35A?
14 c
What is a geographical channelflow?
Channel flow is how much water flows through a channel.
In the process of electrolysis current can flow through liquid why?
Ions in the liquid will respond to an applied voltage, and as long as these ions are mobile within the liquid, they can support current flow. Salt in water is a good example. In solution, salt becomes sodium and chlorine ions in the water. Apply a voltage across (or through) the salt water, and the mobile ions will carry the electric charge which is current flow.
How much water will flow through a one inch pipe in an hour if the flow is not restricted?
question cannot be answered because it depends on the water pressure
What is a bottom current?
bottom current moves very slow.a slow flowing current at the bottom of the ocean means that the ocean is very calm and has no danger to anyone what so ever .Yes it is very much like a flow of water or wind current. In the case of water, it is the water molecules that flow in a pipe. The head or pressure of water is similar to "voltage", the thickness and..
Why is the base current in transistor very small?
Because a transistor's collector current is proportionally limited by its base current, it can be used as a sort of current-controlled switch. A relatively small flow of electrons sent through the base of the transistor has the ability to exert control over a much larger flow of electrons through the collector.
How much water flows through an 8in pipe?
That depends on the pressure behind the flow, and on the length of time the flow is allowed to continue.
