resistance does not produce currents . you need source (like voltage source , current source ,or , discharging capacitor) to generate current .

How is current related to resistance in a circuit?
Ohm's law: voltage is current times resistance. Restating this; current is voltage divided by resistance, so increasing resistance would decrease current.
What voltage would be necessary to produce a current of 3A if the resistance of the curcuit were 50 OHMS?
The voltage is gained by multiplying the current and resistance together, i.e.. 50 x 500 = 25000 Imagine the three as a triangle with the voltage at the top, and the current and resistance at the bottom- V . ---- . I x R The voltage divided by the current is the resistance and the voltage divided by the resistance is the current. Therefore the current times the resistance is equal to the voltage. Having any two of these figures allows you to find the third.
What happens to the current if restistance is increased and why?
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
Would increasing the resistance increase electric current?
no
What would happen to the current in a simple circuit if a bulb with a higher resistance were used?
Ohm's law applies: Current = Voltage / Resistance As such if you double the resistance of the light bulb you end up with half as much current.
What is the effect on the current in a wire if both the voltage across it and it's resistance are doubled?
By Ohm's Law, current is voltage divided by resistance, so if you double both the voltage and the resistance, the current would remain the same.
Does the current ina circuit increase with increase in temperature?
Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.
A thicker resistance wire produces more heat?
I'm not sure what you mean by "thicker resistance" wire? The thicker or more diameter of a wire the less resistance it has. A larger diameter wire would produce less heat. More resistance would produce more heat.
Four 50 ohms are connected in series calculate the current in the circuit?
The series resistance is 4 x 50 = 200 Ohms. You would need additional information to get the current; usually this is calculated from the voltage. current = voltage / resistance.The series resistance is 4 x 50 = 200 Ohms. You would need additional information to get the current; usually this is calculated from the voltage. current = voltage / resistance.The series resistance is 4 x 50 = 200 Ohms. You would need additional information to get the current; usually this is calculated from the voltage. current = voltage / resistance.The series resistance is 4 x 50 = 200 Ohms. You would need additional information to get the current; usually this is calculated from the voltage. current = voltage / resistance.
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 would happen to current if the voltage is constant and the resistance is dounbled?
by the ohms law we can clearly say that the current is the ratio of voltage to the resistance.as the resistance is doubled the current should be halved.
What would happen if you reduced the resistance in a circut?
current will increase
