V = IR

Where,

V = voltage

I = current

R = resistance

Thus if resistance is increased with constant voltage current will decrease

How does current vary with the resistance in the circuit if the voltage is constant?

Inversely. As resistance increases, current dereases; given that the applied voltage is constant.


The amount of current in a circuit can what by increasing the amount of resistance present in the circuit?

No it cant. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So at constant Voltage if the Resistance is increased, Current will reduce


What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance remains the same when the voltage applied is doubled. Each branch in the parallel circuit will experience the same increase in voltage, but their individual resistances will remain constant.


Doubling the resistance in a circuit will increase or decrease amperage?

If voltage remains constant and resistance is increased, the amperage will decrease per Ohm's Law.


When current remains constant and resistance increases the voltage in the circuit will?

The physical equation governing voltage is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. If V remains constant while R is increased, I or current must decrease. Increasing the resistance in a circuit is simply introducing a material that further resists or impedes the electron flow (current), thus current decreases.


Why isn't resistance constant?

If measuring resistance of materials or resistors by themselves(not soldered into a circuit board) resistance is constant. If measuring resistance of a circuit then it could fluctuate with the components functioning in the circuit.


Will current increase if the voltage in a circuit is increased?

Ohm's Law states Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage is increased and resistance is constant, current will increase proportionally to the rise in voltage.


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 happens to the voltage if the current increases?

Yes, if the resistance remains constant. Power is voltage times current, and current is voltage divided by resistance, so power is voltage squared divided by resistance. In essence, the power increases as the square of the voltage.


In a AC parallel circuit which is constant voltage or resistance?

Voltage will be constant. Resistance is dependent on the components in the circuit. Source: Electronics Technician for the US Govt


Does current depends on its resistance?

The current flow in an electrical circuit depends on the applied electromotive force (EMF, measured in volts), and the total resistance along the entire circuit. Rising EMF or dropping resistance cause increased current flow


Time constant of an RC circuit increases if the value of the resistance?

increases. Time constant, denoted by τ, is equal to the product of resistance (R) and capacitance (C), τ = RC. If the resistance increases, it will take longer for the capacitor to charge or discharge, resulting in a longer time constant.
