What happens to amps when you increase the resistance of a circuit?

If you don't change the voltage between the ends of the circuit,
then higher resistance in the circuit means lower current (amps).

How much current in amps flows through a circuit with a 100 resistance?
You don't have enough information in your question, you need to include the voltage as well. One relevant equation is V = I * R where V: Voltage, I: Amps, and R: Resistance. When you have the voltage divide the Ohm resistance into that and you'll get your amps.
What do amps do in a series circuit?
The amps (ampiers) decrease when in a series circuit ( with a light bulb)
What is the units for the short circuit current?
Amps
In a series circuit what happens to the current if you increase the number of components in the circuit?
The current (amps) will remain constant, but the voltage will drop.
How do you work out resistance?
Using Ohms law, the resistance can be calculated by using the following formulas. R = Watts/Amps (squared). R = Volts (squared)/Watts. R = Volts/Amps.
How do you drop amps across a circuit without changing the voltage?
Increase resistance.
How do you measur ampere?
You use an "amp gauge" to measure amps in an actual circuit. It is hooked in series with the load. It can be placed anywhere in the circuit as long as it is hooked in series. Mathematically, you have to know the resistance, or wattage and voltage of a circuit. Volts=amps*resistance or amps=volts/resistance, or resistance=volts/amps. Ohms law!
If volts increase amps will decrease?
Not necessarily. In a simple circuit V=IR, so if the resistance in a circuit remains constant, then voltage and current are directly proportional, so an increase in one will increase the other. If you were to change resistance and keep voltage constant, then the current would be inversely proportional to resistance, so as resistance went up, current would go down.
What is the resistance of the circuit if the voltage is 230 volts and the current flowing is 5 amps?
The resistance of the circuit will be 46 ohms
How many amps does a circuit with 110 volts and a resistance of 7ohms have?
The equation that you are looking for is I = E/R. Amps = Volts/Resistance.
How much resistance should be on a 5.0 kw heat strip?
Depends on the voltage. Wattage is Volts x Amps. Resistance (ohms) is Volts divided by Amps. So on a 120V circuit, it would draw 41.66 amps. To do that, it would need a resistance of 2.88 ohms. But on a 240V circuit, it would draw 20.83 amps. That would require a resistance of 11.52 ohms. Determine the circuit voltage, then use that to figure the amps, then use that result to calculate the resistance necessary.
What can you increase by adding more cells in a circuit?
amps
What happens if you add more cells to a circuit?
If the cells are added in series, then the terminal voltage will increase, as would the internal resistance. If they are added in parallel, then the voltage would remain the same as for one cell, but the internal resistance would fall, and the available charge (in ampere hours) would increase.
What happens to the energy as it goes around a series circuit?
What do you mean by energy? amps? Volts?, Either way if you have a series circuit with 3 loads in the circuit all voltage will be dropped proportionally to the loads resistance, if that makes any sense.
How do you work out the current in a circuit?
we can calculate the current in a commmon electrical circuit by this formulae i.e,I=V\R where i is the current flowing in the conductor, R is resistance , V is the voltage.. THE FORMULA IS CORRECT but the term conductor does not suffice an explanation since a conductor is low in resistance R= resistance not conduction.
Using ohm's law what is the formula to find the resistance in a circuit?
Resistance of the circuit = (voltage across the circuit) divided by (current through the circuit)
How many amps will a 260 ohms resistor on a 120 volt circuit use?
Just use Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance Amps = Voltage Divided By Resistance Amps = 120 / 260
