Load current is related to load resistance by an inverse relationship. The load current increases linearly as load resistance decreases. Remember, the less resistance, the more current.

If you doubled the load resistor in a wheatstone bridge. the load current would not be half as much Why not?

Because by increasing the load resistance, the total circuit resistance is reduced. This means with less resistance, there is more current drawn from the source. Doubling the size of a load resistor increases the load current.


What is the relation between load and resistance?

A load is anything that draws current from a source of potential difference. A 'heavy' load will draw a larger current than a 'light' load. A resistor can certainly be used as a load. A low resistance will draw a larger current than a higher resistance and, so, a low resistance represents a high load while a high resistance represents a low load.


What is difference between ideal current source and practical current source?

Internal resistance. The ideal current source has no internal resistance in parallel with it (if it was set to supply no current it would act as an open circuit), and all the current it supplied would have to flow through its load (even if the load was an open circuit, in which case the voltage across the current source would be infinite). A real current source has the practical limitation that it must have an internal resistance in parallel with it, therefor some of the current it supplied is bypassed through that internal resistance and never reaches the load (if the load was an open circuit, then all the current supplied is bypassed and the resulting voltage drop across the internal resistance limits the voltage across the current source).


Ac voltage applied across a load resistance produce alternating current?

The reason an AC voltage applied across a load resistance produces alternating current is because when you have AC voltage you have to have AC current. If DC voltage is applied, DC current is produced.


What is the formula of load calculation?

There are various formula of load calculation. Power equals current multiplied by the voltage. Power can also be computed by multiplying the resistance by the square of the current.

What will happen when we change value of load resistance in transformer?

The secondary load current will change. This, in turn, will cause the primary current to change (the primary current being the phasor sum of the [IS (Np/Ns)] and the primary current (Io).


How does the changing the battery voltage affect the current?

If voltage varies then current varies with constant resistance.


What controls current?

The load resistance in the circuit controls the current flow.


The current in an electric current varies inversly as the resistance when the current is 25 amps the resistance is 16ohms What is the current when the resistance is 10ohms?

40 A -providing the voltage remains constant.


What is the relation between internal resistance and load resistance when current is constant in the circute?

The total resistance of a circuit is the sum of the supply's internal resistance and its load resistance, because they are in series with each other. This is true regardless of the magnitude of, or the variation in, the current.


How does loading effect affect flow of current?

Ohm's Law says that Voltage = Current x Resistance (Load). Therefore Current = Voltage / Resistance and as resistance decreases current increases and as resistance increases current decreases.


How does load current vary with the load resistance?

Their relationship is only dependent on the voltage lost across that resistor; voltage equals resistance times current, so increasing the current for a given voltage will require a decrease in the resistance, and vice versa.


What is the resistance of the circuit if current flow is 5 amps in a 115-volt power aource?

As resistance is the ratio of voltage to current, you simply divide the voltage by the current to find the resistance.Strictly speaking however, for a.c. systems, this will give you the impedance, rather than the resistance, of the load. Impedance which, like resistance, is measured in ohms, is the opposition to a.c. current, and is a combination of the load's resistance and reactance.


Does voltage versus current indicate a linear relationship?

Yes, provided the resistance is constant. If the resistance varies with current, then you have a non-linear circuit


How is power caculated?

The power used up by any electrical load is . . .(voltage across the load) x (current through the load) or (voltage across the load)2/(resistance of the load) or (current through the load)2 x (resistance of the load). These are all completely equivalent, and you have your choice of which oneto use, depending on which numbers you know or can measure.
