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.
Describe how a change in resistance would affect the current in a circuit?
As long as the voltage between the ends of the circuit remains constant, the current through the circuit is inversely proportional to the total effective resistance of the circuit.
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
What would happen to the current in a simple circuit if a bulb with a higher resistance were used?
If a bulb with higher resistance is used in a simple circuit, the total resistance in the circuit would increase. According to Ohm's Law (V=IR), with an increase in resistance, the current in the circuit would decrease since the voltage supplied remains constant.
Would increasing the resistance increase electric current?
no
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.
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.
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.
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 they was no resistance?
current would go to a maximum, (if there was voltage present), if there was no voltage, no current would flow. the only thing that would limit the current flow (if voltage is present) is the small resistance of the cables, but say there was no resistance it would be like in a short circuit maximum current would flow at the instant voltage is applied. that is why RCD's work as they should, you want the most amount of current to flow at once because otherwise if the current was limited it would not trip in time to stop someone getting electrocuted.
