Ohm's law: Voltage = Amperes times Resistance. This means that increasing voltage while keeping resistance the same must result in an increase of current.

Ac voltage applied across a load resistance produce alternating current?

The reason an AC voltage applied across a load resistance produces alternating current is because when you have AC voltage you have to have AC current. If DC voltage is applied, DC current is produced.


How does the voltage applied to a circuit affect the current flowing through the wire?

Voltage is equal to the Current multiplied by the Resistance.Without changing the resistance, increasing the applied voltage in a circuit will increase current flow. There is a simple, direct relationship between voltage and current. Double the voltage, twice the current will flow. Triple the voltage, and the current will triple. As voltage (E) equals current (I) times resistance (R), when resistance is fixed, what happens to voltage will happen to current.


What does a current in a circuit depend on?

current depends on applied voltage and resistance.


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.


If the voltage applied to a circuit remains constant and the resistance in the circuit is increased the current will?

V = IR Where, V = voltage I = current R = resistance Thus if resistance is increased with constant voltage current will decrease


What does the size of a current depend on?

The size of a current depends on the voltage applied and the resistance of the circuit.


What is the current when a voltage of 36 volts is applied to a circuit with a resistance of 6 ohms?

Six amperes. Use Ohm's law: the current is the voltage divided by the resistance


Will the resistance of a copper conductor decrease with an increase in the applied voltage?

If all environmental conditions remain constant then the resistance will not change appreciably with applied voltage, but the current will increase. An increase in current will raise the temperature of the conductor which will increase the resistance somewhat.


What is the relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?

Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)


What is a relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?

Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)


Does copper need a voltage to produce a current?

Copper can not of itself produce a current. <><><><><> However, resistance, be it copper or some other material, will produce a current if a voltage is applied to it. The rule is Ohm's law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance.


How much current would an applied voltage of 10 volts cause through a resistance of 5 ohms?

10 volts applied to 5 ohms would cause a current flow of 2 amperes. Current = voltage divided by resistance.
