How does increasing the resistance affect the current?
Increasing resistance decreases current.
How can a broken wire affect a series circuit differently than a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow. A broken wire will only affect one part, the rest of the circuit will still pass current.In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit.

What is the effect of varying resitance in parallel affect current?
Varying the resistance of one branch of a parallel circuit will vary the current through that branch without affecting the currents in any of the other branches. As the supply current is the sum of the branch currents it, too, will vary.
How did increasing the stimulus voltage in the simulation affect the action potential?
Increasing the stimulus voltage in the simulation affect action potential mainly because increasing the current will automatically increase the voltage.
Why is it capacitance does not affect current in a Direct Current circuit?
Capacitors resist a change in voltage, proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance. In a DC circuit, the voltage is not changing. Therefore, after equilibrium is reached, there is no current flowing through the capacitor.
Do additional resistors affect current in a series circuit?
Yes, additional resistors affect current in a series circuit by increasing the total resistance, which decreases the total current.
How does connecting devices in parallel affect the electric current in a circuit?
it doesn't, the one with the highest resistance does

1 What is the effect caused by the ammeter resistance when an ammeter is inserted into a circuit to measure the current?
An ammeter has a finite resistance which is inserted in series with the rest of the circuit, increasing the total resistance and decreasing the current. A good ammeter has a very low resistance, so it shouldn't affect the circuit noticeably.
Should an ammeter always be connected in parallel with a component?
No, an ammeter should never be placed in parallel with a component - it should always be placed in series, so that the current through the component is measured.If you place an ammeter in parallel with a component, you create a short circuit around the component. Depending on the rest of the circuit, you could damage the circuit, damage the ammeter, create a fire, etc. You certainly will affect the current through the component, and that is not what you want to accomplish.

What is the affect of a series circuit on current?
by adding the the resistances in series the total resistance of the circuit increses and thus the crunt flowing in the circuit decrese. Ans 2 . the current in series circuit of constant resistance will always be the same . It will not effect the current .
How do resistors affect a circuit?
It reduces the current. As the current travels through the resitors it has some current that is left in the resistor. And
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.
