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.
What will happen too amperage if voltage is increased and resistance remains the same?
Ohms Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage rises, so will current.
If resistance is constant and voltage is increased?
The question cannot be answered without more information, such as the current or power.
What two things happen when the number of appliances connected to the multiple socket is increased?
The amperage of the circuit increases and the voltage drop across the appliances will tend to increase.
Resistance increases what happens to amperage?
yesAnswerNo! Resistance is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of a conductor. Resistivity is, in turn, affected by temperature -so temperature indirectly affects resistance.These are the only factors that affect resistance. Voltage and current have no direct effect whatsoever on resistance. Current can affect resistance indirectly if it causes the conductor's temperature to increase.For AC circuits, 'skin effect', due to frequency, causes the current to flow towards the surface of a conductor which acts to reduce the effective cross-sectional area of that conductor. So, frequency can also indirectly affect resistance.

Why do we use thicker wires for heaters than for lamps?
Heaters draw a lot more amperage. As your amperage increases, so does resistance to the flow of the current. Too much resistance, and your wire overheats, melts the casing, and can potentially catch fire.

If the resistance changes in a circuit the amperage will also change?
I=V/R The smaller the resistance the greater the amperage.
According to Ohms law as voltage increases amperage?
INCREASES

What does volts times amperage equal?
Voltage is equal to amperage time resistance. V=IR Therefore, I'd say voltage times amperage is equal to amperage squared times resistance. VI=IIR Really there's no point in multiplying the two. However, if you were to divide voltage by amperage, you would have the resistance of the circuit. V/I=R

What 2 Factors Determine How Much Amperage Will Flow?
Voltage and resistance determine amperage, assuming the source can provide the amperes.
What will happen to resistance If amperage goes down and voltage remains the same?
The correct term is 'current', not 'amperage'. The answer is that nothing will happen to the resistance. Having said that, changing the resistance will cause current to change for a fixed value of voltage.Resistance is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of a material. Resistivity is affected by temperature, so resistance is also therefore indirectly affected by temperature. Only by changing one of these variables will the resistance change.Since the ratio of voltage to current will tell us what the resistance of a circuit happens to be (it's not affected by that ratio) for a particular ratio, the ratio will increase (as per your question) if the resistance increases. But it's not the ratio that's affecting resistance, its the resistance affecting the ratio!
