More appliances means more load are being added, which necessariliy increases the current.

What will adding resistance to series circuit cause?
A decrease in current.
What is the affect of a series circuit on current?
by adding the the resistances in series the total resistance of the circuit increses and thus the crunt flowing in the circuit decrese. Ans 2 . the current in series circuit of constant resistance will always be the same . It will not effect the current .
When you add a second battery to a series circuit what happens?
Adding a seound battery to a series circuit will increase the voltage, and require less current to keep the lights (if there are any on) as bright. Say you have a 6v battery, then you add another 6v battery. the voltage of the circuit would be 12v
What can you do to a closed circuit consisting of a battery a light bulb and a switch that would decrease the amount of current?
To increase the current you either need to reduce the resistance of the load or increase the voltage. Typically a higher wattage light bulb will decrease resistance or you could put multiple batteries in series.
When you short out a resistor in a parallel circuit why does the current lower?
The total resistance of a set of resistors in parallel is found by adding up the reciprocals of the resistance values, and then taking the reciprocal of the total. By removing a resistor the total current will lower. If you short out the parallel circuit as suggested it will take out the fuse that should be protecting the circuit.AnswerShorting-out a resistor in a parallel circuit, will act to short out the entire circuit, therefore, significantly increasing, not lowering, the current! And, as the previous answer indicates, this short-circuit current will operate any protective devices, such as a fuse.In a parallel circuit current does not lower but it will be increase if shorting-out one resistor in the two resistor parallel circuit, the circuit will become very low resistive and the larger current will flow through the short path.
How do you increase current?
Current can be increased by adding a larger load to the circuit.
What happens to the overall resistance of a circuit when too many appliances are connected across a 120 V outlet?
This is a very technical electrical question that may be difficult to understand without further study. But adding appliances to an outlet is the same as adding resistance in parallel. Adding resistance in parallel, the resistance of the circuit goes down. That is why you get more current flow. By contrast, adding resistance in series increases the resistance of the circuit and therefore reduces current, all else being equal.
Discuss why adding a resistor in parallel to an existing circuit increases the total electric current in the circuit?
V=IRyou are adding in parallel, so V is non-zero, because R is positive, I must have the same sign as V. Therefore your current will increase.
What can you increase by adding more cells in a circuit?
amps
Why does energy increase when voltage increases?
If we increase the voltage by adding extra cells or batteries we give the electrical charges more energy and so, the current flowing around the circuit increases.
In a series circuit what happens to the current if you increase the number of components in the circuit?
The current (amps) will remain constant, but the voltage will drop.
What will adding resistance to series circuit cause?
A decrease in current.
In a parallel circuit adding more bulbs will increase?
It will decrease the effective load resistance across the power supply terminals, increase the total current through the load, and increase the total power required to be supplied by the power supply.
What is the affect of a series circuit on current?
by adding the the resistances in series the total resistance of the circuit increses and thus the crunt flowing in the circuit decrese. Ans 2 . the current in series circuit of constant resistance will always be the same . It will not effect the current .

Adding a seound battery to a series circuit will increase the voltage, and require less current to keep the lights (if there are any on) as bright. Say you have a 6v battery, then you add another 6v battery. the voltage of the circuit would be 12v
What will happen to the total current if you keep adding bulbs in parallel to the circuit?
Adding more lamps in parallel (across) a line will cause total current to climb. It will keep climbing (increasing) until a load protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) breaks the circuit or until something fails because of excessive current.
How do you increase river current?
By adding more water or sloping the land.
