Not at all : Power = Voltage x Current Example : 220 V x 5 A = 1100 Watt

When outward current and inward current are equal?

A: The answer is always. What goes out of a source of power the same power will return


Does current stay the same when voltage changes with converter?

No. Power stays the same. Power is voltage times current. So, if voltage is doubles, current has be halved, less efficiency losses.


If voltage and current are proportional why do they increase voltage in powerlines in order to decrease current?

Low current will equal low power losses due to the resistance of the cable. I squared R. (I is transmission current and R is resistance/Metre of cable) by increasing the voltage for the same amount of power the current decreases. Power transmission will take that advantage to transfer less current for the same amount of power.


When current flow in electrical circuit is 2 amps what will the current flow be if the power doubles and the voltage remains the same?

Since power is voltage times amperes, in order to double the power while voltage remains the same, you must double the current - 4 amps in this case.


How in transmission line current decreases when voltage is increased?

Because power is power. If you maintain the same power, while increasing the voltage, you must decrease current. P=IE.


What increases when current increases?

If current increases, then voltage also has to increase, assuming that resistance stay relatively the same. Power will also increase. Since power is the product of voltage and current, then the power increase would be the square of the voltage or current change.


What is power and current?

current is the continuous flow of electricity (or water or air) in one direction. In common speech power can mean the same thing. However, to be more specific power now turns current into something that may be used. Example, the current to the machine gives it the power to work


What happens to the power of an electric circuit of the resistance is decreased?

if the resistance is decreased and the current stays the same, then the power decreases.


What is the name of the electric current which always flows in the same direction?

Direct current (DC) is the name of the electric current that always flows in the same direction. It is commonly used in electronics and power transmission systems.


Power is transmitted at high voltages because the corresponding current in the wires is?

If you transmit at high voltage, you can send the same power at low current (P=VI), this is good because high current, means that you have high resistance and then you lose power to heat.


If the current flowing through an electric heater increases from 6 to 12 amp while the voltage remains the same the heat produced by the heater will be what?

Since power is current times voltage, doubling current while keeping voltage the same will double the power. Ignoring slight non-linearity, if the power doubles, the heat will double.


How power is flowing when voltage and phase angle is maintained same?

Assume you are saying that the current and voltage are in phase and you want to know how power is affected. When Voltage and Current are in phase the Power Factor is 1 and you have maximum power being applied. When Voltage and Current are not in phase, Power Factor decreases from 1 toward zero.
