The voltage across a semiconductor diode (and across the base/emitter junction of a transistor) decreases as temperature increases:  the actual figure is -2mV/°C.

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.


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.


What is the voltage across diode carrying a constant current?

increases


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 increases when the resistance of an electrical circuit decreases?

Current increases if the voltage remains constant.


What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?

Voltage remains constant; current increases.


How current increases when the load increases in a generator?

Power is voltage times current. If you want to maintain constant voltage and yet increase power, then current must increase. Its simple math.


What happen to the current when the voltage increased if the resistance are constant?

If voltage increases when current remains constant then resistance must also increase. Ohm's Law: Voltage = Current times Resistance.


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.


Can you connect batteries in series and parallel?

Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible. When connected in series Voltage increases. In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.


What is the effect of temperature on ohms law?

The effect of temperature on Ohm's Law is that the resistance of most materials changes with temperature, which in turn affects the current and voltage relationship described by Ohm's Law. Specifically: • Resistance Increase: For most materials, such as metals, resistance increases with temperature. This can lead to higher resistance in a circuit as it heats up, which can reduce current if the voltage remains constant. • Resistance Decrease: Some materials, like semiconductors, show decreased resistance with increasing temperature. This can lead to increased current if the voltage remains constant. Ohm's Law itself (V=IR) remains valid, but the value of resistance (R) can change with temperature, altering the relationship between voltage (V) and current (I).


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.
