What is happening when an electric current in a wire increases but the resistance stays the same?
The power consumed in any circuit is calculated by the formula P=V x I and as per ohms law we know that V=I x R, so placing the value of this Voltage in the power consumption formula we get P=I2R. Thus whenever there is an increase in current in any circuit it implies that the power consumption of the load connected has increased. This may cause heat generation in the wire and possibly melt or burn the wire if the current exceeds the rated current of that wire.
What else can I help you with?
If current increases and resistance increases what would cause this?
The only way current can increase while resistance in a circuit increases is if voltage, which is the force that causes electric current, increases.
What property of a wire increases when it is made thinner?
It's resistance to electric current increases.
What property of a wire increases when is made thinner?
It's resistance to electric current increases.
What happens with electric current when applying the same voltage the resistance of the circuit is reduced?
As the resistance is reduced across the same voltage, the current increases.
When a wire is made smaller the resistance increases. what happens to electric current?
increase
What does a variable resistor do and how does it affect the flow of electric current in a circuit?
A variable resistor is a component that can change its resistance value. By adjusting the resistance, it can control the flow of electric current in a circuit. Increasing the resistance reduces the current flow, while decreasing the resistance increases the current flow. This allows for precise control of the current in a circuit.
Does increasing the resistance increase the electric current?
If the current through a pure metallic conductor causes the temperature of that conductor to rise, then its resistance will increase. A practical example of this is an electric lamp. The cold resistance of a lamp is very much lower than the hot resistance.
What effect does decreased resistance have on a circuit?
resistance is the opposition to the flow of an electric current, therefore the current will decrease as the resistance increases. Resistance also creates heat. This is how the light globes in a circuit light up.
How does resistance vary with the length of a conductor?
Resistance in a conductor increases as the length of the conductor increases. This is because a longer conductor provides more material for electrons to collide with, resulting in more resistance to the flow of electric current.
What happens to voltage when resistance increases?
Ohm's law states that "The current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit." <<>> if resistor exists, resistance decreases according to ohm's law, current is directly proportional to voltage and current is inversely proportional to resistance it means as current increases, voltage increases. resistance increases, current decreases so as voltage if there is no resistor, there should be no resistance except internal resistance of voltmeter and ammeter
How is a current affected across a wire if its resistance increases?
As the resistance increases the temperature will also increases....
What else increases as energy carried by a current increases?
The amount of electric energy that is converted into thermal energy increases as the resistance of wire increases. As the resistance in the current increases, the current in the circuit decreases.
