If the resistance increases, the current diminishes. The voltage may drop a little and the multimeter can't read it or can't accuse so little voltage dropping.

Is the increase in voltage causes a greater electric resistance in a circuit?

No, the resistance in a circuit does not change when voltage changes. Resistance is an inherent property of the circuit.


If the resistance decreases in a circuit when the voltage remains constant the current will?

Current will increase


Describe how a change in resistance would affect the current in a circuit?

As long as the voltage between the ends of the circuit remains constant, the current through the circuit is inversely proportional to the total effective resistance of the circuit.


What is happening if energy input remains constant and voltage remains the same in a circuit but the current decreases?

If the current decreases while energy input and voltage remain constant, it means that there is an increase in resistance within the circuit. This could be due to factors such as a faulty component, a loose connection, or an increase in temperature affecting the resistance of the materials in the circuit.


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.


Why isn't resistance constant?

If measuring resistance of materials or resistors by themselves(not soldered into a circuit board) resistance is constant. If measuring resistance of a circuit then it could fluctuate with the components functioning in the circuit.


Doubling the resistance in a circuit will increase or decrease amperage?

If voltage remains constant and resistance is increased, the amperage will decrease per Ohm's Law.


Does the current ina circuit increase with increase in temperature?

Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.


Will current increase if the voltage in a circuit is increased?

Ohm's Law states Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage is increased and resistance is constant, current will increase proportionally to the rise in voltage.


How does a rheostat make a current high?

A rheostat is a variable resistor that can increase or decrease the resistance in a circuit. By increasing the resistance in the circuit, the rheostat limits the flow of current, causing it to become higher in the parts of the circuit where the resistance is lower.


What would happen to the current in a simple circuit if a bulb with a higher resistance were used?

If a bulb with higher resistance is used in a simple circuit, the total resistance in the circuit would increase. According to Ohm's Law (V=IR), with an increase in resistance, the current in the circuit would decrease since the voltage supplied remains constant.


Should you increase voltage or resistance to increase flow in a circuit?

To increase (current) flow in a circuit you increase voltage (or decrease resistance). Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance
