A transformer. A small example is the coil in a motorcar. A transformer, in a power line, only changes voltage in one direction under normal usage. At distribution voltages, about 8360 VAC, the voltage is monitored by a regulator. A regulator either increases or decreases the voltage automatically to insure the desired voltage is steady. This regulated voltage is then fed to Transformers to provide customers with a regulated voltage at the desired voltage.

What do you call A device that increases or decreases voltage in a power line is a?

A transformer can perform this function.


What happens to voltage when current is increased?

current is decreased Depends of the circuit or device: in a stepdown transformer: power in= power out, V x I = V x I , Increase voltage in (power remaining constant) you current output will increase.


What is used to increase or decrease the voltage across a power line?

The device that increases or decreases the voltage impressed across a power line is known as a voltage regulator. A voltage regulator is a type of transformer where the primary and secondary turns ratio are fairly close; one (primary or secondary) often has a tap changing ability to add or remove several windings, allowing more dynamic control of voltage.


Technician A says that the current draw should decrease as the voltage decreasestechnician B says that the current should increase as the voltage decreases Which technician is right?

Both technicians are right, and both technicians are wrong, because not enough information is present in the question, nor in their statements. Given constant impedance, current should decrease as voltage decreases, while given constant power, current should increase as voltage decreases.


If voltage remains constant and resistance decreases current flow?

the current will increase because of a lower level of resistance , hence more current will flow- easily


If power is constant increasing the voltage will increase or decrease current?

Decrease, because W = I (current) x V (voltage), if one increases, the other decreases in proportion to the increase of the other. Ohm's Law states current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.

If resistance decreases then power?

Resistance is decreases then the voltage drop across it is decreases because of ohms law (V=IR),due to this power can also be decreases because of P=VI. so finally we can say that resistance decreases ,power also decreases.


What is a device that changes electric current into a different voltage?

Nothing can change electric current to voltage. You can compare "current " to rate of flow, while "voltage" is the energy level. Transformers can be used to increase or decrease the voltages of alternating current as is done from 'street power' to domestic power.


Why does power decrease when resistance increases?

First, this statement stands as long as voltage is constant. If you held the current constant then power would increase as resistance increases.V=IR. For a fixed voltage if you increase the resistance (R) then the current (I) will decrease - following the formula.Power = VI so as the resistance increases the value of VI (power) decreases as V is constant and I gets smaller.Therefore the power is decreasing as the resistance increases (when voltage is held constant).Hope this helps.


Will the power consumed by an electrical appliance increase with a reduction of applied voltage?

Power consumed by an electrical appliance will increase with a reduction of applied voltage.


What increases when current increases?

If current increases, then voltage also has to increase, assuming that resistance stay relatively the same. Power will also increase. Since power is the product of voltage and current, then the power increase would be the square of the voltage or current change.
