What is a device that increase or decreases voltage in a power line?
A transformer. A small example is the coil in a motorcar. A transformer, in a power line, only changes voltage in one direction under normal usage. At distribution voltages, about 8360 VAC, the voltage is monitored by a regulator. A regulator either increases or decreases the voltage automatically to insure the desired voltage is steady. This regulated voltage is then fed to Transformers to provide customers with a regulated voltage at the desired voltage.
What happens to the power in a circuit as the current increases?
P=VI If current (I) increases then P will increase proportionally. That is, assuming that voltage (V) remains constant. If voltage decreases and current increases or vice versa, proportionally then P will remain the same.
How does speed affect Power?
Speed is directly related to power. As speed increases, power also increases. And as speed decreases, power also decreases.
What is used to increase or decrease the voltage across a power line?
The device that increases or decreases the voltage impressed across a power line is known as a voltage regulator. A voltage regulator is a type of transformer where the primary and secondary turns ratio are fairly close; one (primary or secondary) often has a tap changing ability to add or remove several windings, allowing more dynamic control of voltage.
Why does power decrease when resistance increases?
First, this statement stands as long as voltage is constant. If you held the current constant then power would increase as resistance increases.V=IR. For a fixed voltage if you increase the resistance (R) then the current (I) will decrease - following the formula.Power = VI so as the resistance increases the value of VI (power) decreases as V is constant and I gets smaller.Therefore the power is decreasing as the resistance increases (when voltage is held constant).Hope this helps.
When resistance increases what occur to power?
It decreases
Refers to the amount of a speciman that you are able to see and decreases as the power of magnification increases?
refers to the amount of a specium we are able to see decreases as the power of magnification increases.
What will happen to power P if voltage V increases?
increases
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 happens to the voltage if the current increases?
Yes, if the resistance remains constant. Power is voltage times current, and current is voltage divided by resistance, so power is voltage squared divided by resistance. In essence, the power increases as the square of the voltage.
If resistance decreases then power?
Resistance is decreases then the voltage drop across it is decreases because of ohms law (V=IR),due to this power can also be decreases because of P=VI. so finally we can say that resistance decreases ,power also decreases.
Why does the terminal voltage decreases as the load current increases?
A: That will happen anytime the voltage source is not able to provide the power needed for the load. If the load exceed the power available from the source the voltage will be reduced as IR drop from the source
