First thing voltage does not flow current does. Voltage is the potential or pressure needed to make the current flow.

Current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. To make the current flow you have to adjust the resistance of the circuit and that would be the water in this case. Salt added to water will make the water conductive so the resistance can be adjusted thereby making the current rise or fall depending on the water solution's resistive properties. The equation that you should consider using is Amps = Volts/Resistance.

Current in a parallel circuit?

In any parallel connection The original current gets divided into the parallel branches, however the division is solely based upon the resistances of the parallel paths. Current always tries to flow through the branch having the least resistance. Thus More current will flow in the branch having less resistance and vice-versa. The currents flowing in the parallel branches can be found out by using the current divider rule. Suppose if R1 & R2 are two branches of a parallel connection & i1 & i2 is the current flowing through them respectively. Let 'I' be the original current then the current through R1 can be given as i1=R1/(R1+R2) * I similarly current through R2 can also be calculated.


How much current will flow through a 2.4 kilohm resistor when 7.2 kilovolts is applied?

Divide the voltage by the resistance in order to obtain your answer.


How much current would an applied voltage of 10 volts cause through a resistance of 5 ohms?

10 volts applied to 5 ohms would cause a current flow of 2 amperes. Current = voltage divided by resistance.


How does electrical resistance change the current in a circuit?

Electrical resistance is opposition to electric current flow. There is a resistance to the flow of current. And a "balance" between applied voltage and resistance determines how much current will flow in a circuit. For a given applied voltage, if we increase the resistance, the current flow will decrease. For that same applied voltage, if we decrease the resistance, the current flow will increase. It's a simple relationship, and it is set down by the following expression: E = I x R We can also write it as I = E / R and R = E / I Voltage (in volts) is E, current (in amps) is I, and resistance (in ohms) is R. In the first expression, voltage is equal to current times resistance. For a constant voltage, any increase in resistance will cause a decrease in current flow. And any decrease in resistance will cause in increase in current flow. Just as cited earlier.

Channel flow is how much water flows through a channel.


What controls the flow of electric current?

The flow of electric current is controlled by the voltage applied to a circuit. Voltage creates an electric field that pushes charged particles (electrons) through a conductor, allowing current to flow. The resistance in the circuit also affects the flow of current, as it determines how much opposition the current encounters.


What is the relationship between current and capacitance in an electrical circuit?

The relationship between current and capacitance in an electrical circuit is that capacitance affects the flow of current in the circuit. Capacitance is a measure of how much charge a capacitor can store, and it influences the rate at which current can flow through the circuit. A higher capacitance can result in a slower flow of current, while a lower capacitance allows for a faster flow of current.

What is a bottom current?

bottom current moves very slow.a slow flowing current at the bottom of the ocean means that the ocean is very calm and has no danger to anyone what so ever .Yes it is very much like a flow of water or wind current. In the case of water, it is the water molecules that flow in a pipe. The head or pressure of water is similar to "voltage", the thickness and..


If no current flows through a load how much energy does it receive?

If no current flows through a load, then no energy is received by the load. Energy is transferred through the flow of current, so without any current, there is no energy transfer to the load.
