A transformer can perform this function.


A device that increases the voltage of an alternating current is called?

That's called a transformer.


What happens to the current in a device if the resistance of the device increases and the voltage difference stays the same?

If resistance increases and voltage stays the same, then current decreases. Ohm's Law: Current equals Voltage divided by Resistance.


What device increases or decreases the volt- age of alternating current?

A transformer can step up or step down AC voltage


What device increases the voltage?

watts


In a series circuit each device that is added to the circuit decreases the what?

Depends on the device. If it is a resistor and you have a fixed voltage then the circuit will obey Ohms law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So if R increases by adding more resistors in series and the voltage is constant, the current will decrease.

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.


A device that decreases voltage?

Step down transformer, potentiometer or rheostats can all be used to reduce voltage.
