If the ratio of voltage to current is constant, then the circuit is obeying Ohm's Law. If the ratio changes for variations in voltage, then the circuit does not obey Ohm's Law.

What happens to the power of an electric circuit of the resistance is decreased?

if the resistance is decreased and the current stays the same, then the power decreases.


As the resistance in a series circuit is decreased the amount of current in the circuit increases or decreases?

Increases the total resistance


What effect does decreased resistance have on a circuit?

resistance is the opposition to the flow of an electric current, therefore the current will decrease as the resistance increases. Resistance also creates heat. This is how the light globes in a circuit light up.


When an ammeter is connected to measure current circuit current will decrease sightly because R total decreases after the meter is inserted?

Current will be decreased because of the resistance of the ammeter added to the circuit's resistance. In other words total resistance increases.


What happens when one bulb is added to a series circuit?

The resistance is increased, the voltage across each bulb is decreased and the current through the circuit is reduced.


How does a rheostat make a current high?

A rheostat is a variable resistor that can increase or decrease the resistance in a circuit. By increasing the resistance in the circuit, the rheostat limits the flow of current, causing it to become higher in the parts of the circuit where the resistance is lower.


If the decrease voltage and the resistance stays the same is current increased or decreased?

This question follows Ohm's law which states, "Current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the current in the circuit. <<>> decreased


What happen to current in a circuit if the voltage is not charge but the resistance is doubled?

The current in the circuit will be decreased by half. Ohm's law states V=IR so, I=V/R. If R is doubled, then I= V/2R.


What is the relationship between inductance and resistance in an electrical circuit?

Inductance and resistance are both properties that affect the flow of electricity in a circuit. Resistance opposes the flow of current, causing energy to be converted into heat. Inductance, on the other hand, resists changes in current flow by storing energy in a magnetic field. In an electrical circuit, inductance and resistance can interact to affect the overall behavior of the circuit, with inductance causing delays in current changes and resistance dissipating energy.


What is the relationship among voltage circuit and resistance in a circuit?

Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)


How you increase current by keeping voltage constant?

If you are referring to a simple circuit, you could add resistance throughout it. Increased resistance means decreased current flow yet the same voltage.


What do you call a variable resistor that is set up to alter the size of the current in a circuit?

A thermister is a device that changes resistance depending on temperature. A photo resistor changes resistance based on light. Both of these could be used with an amplifying circuit to vary current flow.
