not enough information to give an most buildings have at least 100 to 200 amp service what specifically are you talking about? a water heater is 30 amps but it does not use 30 all time

Low resistance and high voltage cause high currents [in amperes]

an Ampere is the unit that is used to measure the volume of current flowing through a conductor. Just because you have a 30 ampere breaker doesn't mean you are drawing [using] 30 amps. You can have a 30 ampere breaker and be drawing NO load!! The quantity of electricity used in amps, pushed by the pressure in volts is what is stated as power usage in watts. 3 amp current at 120 volts gives a power consumption of 360 watts. totally confused now? worse yet, an ampere is the amount of current that will be caused to flow through a material with an electrical resistance of 1 ohm when an electrical potential [pressure difference] of 1 volt is applied.

How much current would an applied voltage of 10 volts cause through a resistance of 5 ohms?

10 volts applied to 5 ohms would cause a current flow of 2 amperes. Current = voltage divided by resistance.

What will happen if increase the input current of an inductor in RL circuit?

Since the equation of an inductor is ... di/dt = v/L ... then increasing the current in the RL network would cause a back-emf in the inductor that would initially seem to oppose the series current. More correctly, the question should ask "what if the voltage were increased?"; and the answer is that the rate of change of current in the inductor would increase, but the current would not initially change. This is the case for a series RL. For a parallel RL, increasing the current would initially show up as an increase the the current through the R, increasing voltage in the L, with the same effect as noted above.

What would happen if a 12 volt dc geared motor is run with 19 volts?

The motor would operate above its rated RPM. The motor would start to get hot as the current draw would be greater. This might eventually burn the insulation off of the windings and cause the motor to short circuit.

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.
