There is an electronic formula voltage/resistance = current If you translate this into Plumbing terms voltage would equal water pressure resistance would equal pipes and valves and the current would equal the flow rate. If you start closing a valve it increases resistance and lowers the current flow

Does current increase as resistance is increased?

current decreases because there is more resistance ( restistance stops currents)


What happens to the current in the circuit if the resistance is increased?

If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.


What happens to the current in a circuit when the resistance is increased?

The flow of electrons meets an increased impedance to it's flow.

What happens when magnitude of current is increased in electrorefining of copper?

When current is increased during electrorefining of a metal, more electrons are sent into the solution. This causes more metal ions to be displaced at one time, increasing the rate that metals will separate out. So, the process just happens faster with more current.


If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?

In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.


What happens to current in a simple circuit as potential difference is increased?

depends on the simple circuit. please describe it.


What happens to the current in a circuit if the resistance in increased.?

What is the definition of restistance?

A force that tends to oppose motion


How do voltage and current and restistance all link together?

According to ohm's law, voltage in a circuit is directly proportional to current in the circuit and when that proportionality sign is taken off to equals to, a constant is introduced with current and is called resistance. Therefore Voltage in a circuit equals to product of current and resistance in that circuit.


What happens to the strength of magnetic force in an electromagnet when increasing the current through the coil?

The strength is increased, this is how Roller Coasters operate.
