What would happen to the potential difference if the resistance stays constant and the current increases?

According to ohms law (V=IR)if voltage is increased the current also increases keeping the resistance same .In other words, to keep values on the both sides of equal sign current must increase with the voltage when the resistance is constant. For example: if R=1 and V=2 then I=2 and if voltage is increased to 4 then current also increases with voltage to 4.CONCLUSION:V IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO I KEEPING THE R CONSTANT

∙ 13y agoAssuming the power ( watts ) stays the same the potential would decrease in the situation described above. Where power is W and potential is V and current is A;
W = V x A
A = W/V
so if power is constant V and A are indirectly proportionate.

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.
Does the current ina circuit increase with increase in temperature?
Resistance increases as temperature increases. If Voltage is held constant then according to Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance then current would decrease as resistance increases.
When the potential is high the current passing through a conductor it is also high true or false?
I think you mean when the 'potential difference' is high, is the current also high? The answer is that it depends on the impedance (a.c.) or resistance (d.c.) of the circuit. If this remains constant, then raising the potential difference will cause the current to increase too.
If pressure is constant and current increases the resistance?
I assume you meant pressure to voltage. The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. If the temperature of the conductor increases due to increased current, then the resistance tend to increase too.
When resistance decreases what happens to current?
Based on the simplest Electrical Equation V = I * R,(reads: voltage equals current multiplied by resistance)then, rearranged I = V / R .As resistance decreases, current flow proportionately increases
If resistance goes up does current go down?
At constant temp.& pressure,on the same circuit,with potential difference unchanged,current reduces if resistance increases.(Ohm's law).
What increases when the resistance of an electrical circuit decreases?
Current increases if the voltage remains constant.
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.

Differentiate between potential difference and electro motive force?
The difference between potential difference and electro motive force is that potential difference never remains constant whereas the electro motive force always stays constant.

Where does the gravitational potential energy go when a parachutist's kinetic energy is constant?
wind resistance
What happens to voltage when resistance is increased?
Ohms law is V=I X R. If resistance (R) is reduced and current (I) is constant, then voltage (V) must decrease. You can see from the equation that they are proportional to one another. If, however, R is reduced and V is held constant, then I must increase (I and R are inversely proportional). The only way V can increase is if either or both I and R increase.
If pressure is constant and current increases the resistance?
I assume you meant pressure to voltage. The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. If the temperature of the conductor increases due to increased current, then the resistance tend to increase too.
What is the significance of the constant temperature reference in ohms law?
As temperature affects resistivity, the resistance of a conductor may change if its temperature is allowed to increase. For pure metal conductors, the resistance generally increases as the temperature increases.Ohm's Law ('the current flowing along a conductor, at constant temperature, is directly proportional to the potential difference across that conductor') only applies when the resistance of the conductor is constant so, when verifying Ohm's Law, the temperature must be kept constant, in order to keep the resistance constant.It should be pointed out that the ratio of voltage (U) to current (R) is called resistance (R), and the resistance of a circuit can be found from the equation, R = U/I whether Ohm's Law applies or not -but Ohm's Law itself only applies when the ratio is constant over a range of voltage variation.
What is the ohm?
The Ohm is a unit of measure of resistance to the flow of electricity. The ohm is defined as a resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of 1 volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of 1 ampere.
