In a simple circuit, lowering the voltage will not cause the resistance to do anything. Lowering the voltage will, however, cause the current to also lower.
This ignores temperature coefficient. If there is substantial power involved, a typical bulb, for instance, will grow cooler and its resistance will decrease when you lower the voltage, but that is usually a small effect.
What else can I help you with?
If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?
In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.
What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?
If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.
Why doesn't current decrease in series resistance circuit though resistance opposes current?
If you add another resistor or just increase the resistance the current will decrease. I think the statement you are talking about means that whatever the current is in the series circuit it will be the same everywhere in that circuit, on both sides of the resistance. The resistance lowers the current in the entire circuit, not just after the resistance.
What is added to a circuit to make the current smaller?
The reduction of voltage or the increase of resistance will reduce the current in a circuit.
How do you lower the current?
To lower the current in a circuit, you can increase the resistance using Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance. Alternatively, you can reduce the voltage supplied to the circuit, which will also decrease the current. Additionally, adding resistors in series will increase the total resistance and thus lower the current flowing through the circuit.
What will cause an increase in current flow in a simple series circuit?
An increase in voltage or a decrease in resistance will cause an increase in current flow in a simple series circuit. This is because current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance according to Ohm's Law.
Should you increase voltage or resistance to increase flow in a circuit?
To increase (current) flow in a circuit you increase voltage (or decrease resistance). Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance
Is the increase in voltage causes a greater electric resistance in a circuit?
No, the resistance in a circuit does not change when voltage changes. Resistance is an inherent property of the circuit.
What happens to the current in a filament is replaced by a longer wire?
If a longer wire is used to replace the filament, the resistance in the circuit will increase due to the longer length of the wire. This increase in resistance will cause a decrease in current flowing through the circuit, which can affect the overall performance of the system.
If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?
In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.
What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?
If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.
What happens to amps when you increase the resistance of a circuit?
When you increase the resistance in a circuit, the current (amps) in the circuit will decrease. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is inversely proportional to resistance, so as resistance increases, current decreases.
Which component slow down the current in circuit?
An inductive load can cause current to lag voltage in an AC circuit. An increase in resistance will decrease amount of current flow.
What happens to to the speed of a motor if i increase or decrease the number of bulbs in a circit?
If you increase the number of bulbs in a circuit, the resistance in the circuit will increase, causing the motor's speed to decrease. If you decrease the number of bulbs, the resistance in the circuit will decrease, causing the motor's speed to increase.
Describe how a change in resistance would affect the current in a circuit?
As long as the voltage between the ends of the circuit remains constant, the current through the circuit is inversely proportional to the total effective resistance of the circuit.
If current increases and resistance increases what would cause this?
The only way current can increase while resistance in a circuit increases is if voltage, which is the force that causes electric current, increases.
When a dead short occur what happens to circuit resistance?
The circuit resistance is likely to gradually drop and in such case it will cause the circuit to burn down.
