What happens to the current in a device if the resistance of the device increases and the voltage difference stays the same?

If resistance increases and voltage stays the same, then current decreases. Ohm's Law: Current equals Voltage divided by Resistance.


A device that increases the voltage of an alternating current is called?

A transformer can perform this function.


In a series circuit each device that is added to the circuit decreases the what?

Depends on the device. If it is a resistor and you have a fixed voltage then the circuit will obey Ohms law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So if R increases by adding more resistors in series and the voltage is constant, the current will decrease.

A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.


How is the induced voltage of separately excited dc generator affected if the speed increases?

as speed increases, induced voltage increases


How does the ac resistance of a diode change as the voltage increases?

When the voltage increases the temperature in the diode also increases. When the temperature in the diode increases, the resistance decreases.
