It depends on the nature of the circuit. In a purely-resistive circuit, the current would rise immediately because resistance merely limits its value, it doesn't oppose any change in current. But in a resistive-inductive circuit, for example, the inductive component opposes any change in current, so the current will rise more gradually.

What is the cutting voltage of a silicon diode?

It is not 'Cutting voltage' but it is Cut-in voltage'. It is the voltage at which the diode turns ON. For silicon it is 0.7v. After reaching 0.7V diode current starts increasing rapidly for little increase in voltage.


Does the magnetic field increase or decrease if the current is decreased?

An increase in an electrical current will cause magnetism to increase but a decrease in an electrical current will cause magnetism to decrease.


If the resistance increases what will happen to voltage and current?

If you have a simple circuit. For eg: One voltage source and one resistor, then the voltage of the circuit will always remain the same, the current however will decrease following Ohms' Law V=I*R. If we have a current source instead of a voltage source, we are forcing the current to be a certain value so if we increase the resistor value the current will remain the same but the voltage will increase.


Does lowering resistance increase current?

Current is proportionally inverse to resistance and when the voltage is fixed, lowering resistance will increase the current


When resistance increase the current does what?

The current decreases.


When tempratere increase resistance increase and when resistance increase current decrease why?

That's what "resistance" is all about: reducing the current for a given voltage. In fact, you can DEFINE resistance as voltage divided by current.
