Electrical energy = I * V * t
Everything else staying the same, the current doubles.

What is the difference between Direct Current positive and Direct current negative?
Direct Current Positive - the starting point at which the electrons flow through the wire circuit. These electrons are fully charged, ready to expend their energy into the various points in the circuit, be it a lightbulb etc Direct Current Negative - the return point of the finished electrons into the battery to collect more energy to enter the circuit again.
The current that flows in an electric circuit carries what A chemical energy B mechanical energy C thermal energy D electrical energy?
D. Electrical energy.
What happens to the potential energy of a car parked at the top of the hill if you double the mass of the car?
The potential energy will double too.
What is the object called that supplies energy to move current through a circuit?
It's an electric cell.
What else increases as energy carried by a current increases?
The amount of electric energy that is converted into thermal energy increases as the resistance of wire increases. As the resistance in the current increases, the current in the circuit decreases.
What do a resistor do in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.

What happens to the energy in a circuit when the current passes through a component?
A: If there is resistance within the device it will cause to dissipate some of the energy as heat. The rest will continue
What is the flow of an electrical current in a circuit outside the power source?
Usually a circuit is connected to a power source, which could be a battery or an outlet. When this happens current flows through the circuit. The power supply raises electrical charges through the required potential difference, and then in the circuit the charges flow down the potential gradient giving up their energy.
1amp 1volt 1ohm travels at 186000 miles a second if you double the voltage does it double the speed in which it travels the circuit?
Doubling the voltage in a circuit does not double the propagation speed in that circuit. It only doubles the available energy (volts is joules per coulomb), which doubles the current (amperes is coulombs per second), and quadruples the power (watts is joules per second).
Even without current flow there can be voltage in a circuit?
Voltage is potential energy and can exist in a open circuit.
What type of energy do the circuit the batteries in the circuit have?
Batteries have chemical energy stored inside them. Of course, when they provide a current, this chemical energy is transformed (in part) into electrical energy.
What device could not provide the energy for current to flow in a circuit?
a resistor
What is the difference between a double and single circuit circulation?
a single circuit has only one source of energy, like a battery compartment (no matter the amount of batteries) a double circuit has two sources of energy, like two batter compartments
What is an equation for power?
Power = (energy used)/(time to use it)Power dissipated by an electrical circuit =(voltage across the circuit) x (current through the circuit)or(resistance of the circuit) x (square of the current through the circuit)or(square of the voltage across the circuit)/(resistance of the circuit)
Why is it necessary to have a close circuit too have a complete transfer of energy?
Current can't pass through an open circuit .
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit alike?
Both take current and energy from the power supply and dissipate power.
