According to Ohms law, current will increase in proportion to the voltage increase. Ohms law is an equation:

Voltage = current x resistance.

If the resistance stays the same, any increase in voltage must mean a proportional increase in current according to this equation.

Can the amount of energy carried by a power line be increased by raising voltage?

The energy supplied by a power line is determined by its load, not by its voltage. For a given energy demand by its load, the higher the liine's voltage, the lower the resulting load current.


Why Does resistance cause voltage drop?

According to Ohm's law i.e. E=IR. When we increase resistance, keeping current constant, voltage will increase as in the above formula since E and R are directly proportional.


If voltage constant when the current increases what does the resistance do?

In an electric circuit, ratio of current and voltage is constant which is known as the resistance of the circuit. If voltage or current is to be changed the resistance has to be changed. You cannot keep an invariable resistance in the circuit and increase current while keeping voltage as constant.Hence to vary the voltage or current in a circuit different equipments like rheostat,potentiometer are used.


How do you change time constant of capacitor?

In theory ... on paper where you have ideal components ... a capacitor all by itself doesn't have a time constant. It charges instantly. It only charges exponentially according to a time constant when it's in series with a resistor, and the time constant is (RC). Keeping the same capacitor, you change the time constant by changing the value of the resistor.


What happen to current in a circuit if the voltage is not charge but the resistance is doubled?

The current in the circuit will be decreased by half. Ohm's law states V=IR so, I=V/R. If R is doubled, then I= V/2R.

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

What happens to density if an objects mass remains constant but its volume is increased?

If an object's mass remains constant but its volume is increased, then the density of the object decreases. This is because density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume, so increasing the volume while keeping the mass constant leads to a lower density value.

Will decreasing the resistance in a circuit decrease current flow if voltage is kept constant?

You should answer this question yourself by doing a couple of examples using Ohm's law I=E/R (current equals voltage divided by resistance. Here they are: Base circuit: 10 volt supply feeding a 10 ohm resistor calculate the current... New circuit: 10 volt supply (voltage kept constant) feeding a 20 ohm resistor (increased resistance) calculate the current... Did the current increase, or decrease? This way you can prove to yourself the answer!

What happen to the speed of the molecule of a gas when temperature is increased and pressure is constant?

When the temperature of a gas is increased while keeping the pressure constant, the speed of the gas molecules also increases. This is because the increase in temperature leads to a greater average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, causing them to move faster.


What is mean by regulator in electronics circuits?

A regulator holds something (e.g. voltage, current) in a circuit constant (aka regulates it), that otherwise would not stay constant as the circuit operates. Keeping this constant is critical to proper operation of the circuit, thus the need for its regulation.
