The amount of current that flows in a circuit is proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance, as per Ohms law (I=V/R) where I is current.
When resistances (IE loads) are connected in series, the total resistance is the sum of the loads (IE Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3 ...)
When they are connected in parallel, the total resistance is the inverse sum of the reciprocals of each resistance (IE 1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 ...)
Therefore in parallel the total resistance is much lower, and therefore at the same voltage more current will flow.

What type of current never changes direction?
DC (direct current).
Using Ohm's Law explain how voltage changes in relation to current assuming that resistance remains constant?
how do you use ohms law express conductance in terms of current and voltage?
When current in primary coil decreases current in the secondary coil also decreases?
It is reverse. when load current in the secondary changes the primary current also changes directly. Load current is dependent on the load. I am assuming that the question is related to a normal distribution transformer.
Is the resistance of a resistor the same as voltage changes?
Yes and no. As voltage changes, current changes, causing power to change, with the end result that temperature changes. Most resistors have a small temperature coefficient, so their resistance will change slightly as the voltage changes.
What does a conevection current mean?
Motion of a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by density changes caused by temperature changes.
What changes have you introduced into your current role?
What changes have you introduced into your current role?
Current that changes directions is call direct current?
No, that's Alternating Current.
What is the function of inverter?
It changes direct current (DC) to alternative (AC) energy.
What is unilateral element?
When an element polarity of voltage or current source changes, the magnitude of the corresponding current or voltage changes is called unilateral element. Eg: Diode Even Diode connected back to back in parallel act as a Bilateral.
What does a surface current do when deflects?
When a surface current deflects, it changes direction.
What type of current never changes direction?
DC (direct current).
How does the current changes in a series circuit?
A: it does not
What current changes direction?
Voltage
What are Dependencies between current assets and current liabilities either through balance creations or balance changes?
dependencies between current assets and current liabilities either through balance creations or balance changes.

How can prevent the accommodation in nerve stimulation?
in order to prevent accommodation current that changes rapidly will provide better stimulation that the current which changes slowly.. such current shows more chances of accommodation...
What is the abbreviation for the type of current that continually changes direction?
alternating current (ac)
