The amperage flowing through a wire is directly related to the load placed on the circuit, and has nothing to do with wire size, except that a larger wire will carry more amperage. Increasing wire size will not lower amperage but will allow the circuit to carry more amperage if the breaker is also increased in size.
No. Ohm's law tells us that V = IR. For a given load, R is constant, and thus the only way to reduce current is to increase voltage.
What else can I help you with?
What are the problems one can expect with low supply voltage or fluctuations in split AC?
depends on how low incoming ppower is unit will have min max allowable voltage on name plate but the lower the voltage the higher the amperage draw which can reduce life of compressor or even kill it
If a resistor decreases in value what will happen to the current through the resistor?
If the voltage applied across the resistor remains constant, then as the resistance of the resistor decreases, the current through it will increase. Consider Ohm's Law: E = IR In this formula, in order for 'E' to remain constant as 'R' decreases, 'I' must increase. Another form of Ohm's Law: I = E/R If 'E' remains constant, then the value of the fraction increases as its denominator 'R' decreases.
The voltage drop in line can be decreased by?
The voltage drop in a line can be decreased by
What is a voltage droop used for?
The purpose of a voltage droop is to intentionally reduce the voltage of a device. Further information about why and when one would do this can be found on Wikipedia.
A device that decreases voltage?
Step down transformer, potentiometer or rheostats can all be used to reduce voltage.
When voltage increases what happens to the amps?
the power will also increase as it is proved in my experiment

Can using larger wire sizes reduce amp draw?
Using larger wire sizes will not reduce amp draw. The amp draw is determined by the electrical device or load connected to the circuit, not the wire size. Larger wire sizes are used to reduce voltage drop and heat generation in the wiring, but they do not directly affect the amp draw of the circuit.
The amount of current in a circuit can what by increasing the amount of resistance present in the circuit?
No it cant. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So at constant Voltage if the Resistance is increased, Current will reduce
What happens if the current is constant and voltage increases?
Generally the voltage is constant and current varies as per the load. Load can vary and hence current can vary. You are stating an abnormal situation, where in voltage increases while current remains constant. I am assuming a constant load situation then normally when voltage increases, the current tends to reduce since over all load remains same. If the voltage goes up beyond a limit the insulation fails and may lead to short circuit, equipment failure, shock and fatality
What is the best way to improve the voltage drop?
To improve voltage drop in electrical systems, you can use thicker conductors to reduce resistance, thereby minimizing voltage loss. Shortening the length of the wiring can also help, as longer runs increase resistance. Additionally, ensuring all connections are secure and free from corrosion can enhance conductivity. Finally, consider using higher voltage levels, which can reduce current flow and consequently lower voltage drop.
Why is electricity transported at low amperage?
To reduce power loss in the cable.
What causes voltage drop in a circuit and how can it be minimized?
Voltage drop in a circuit is caused by the resistance in the wires and components, leading to a decrease in voltage as current flows through. To minimize voltage drop, use thicker wires with lower resistance, reduce the length of the wires, and use high-quality components. Additionally, ensure proper connections and avoid overloading the circuit.
How do you increase voltage?
You can put less resistance (more load) on the battery with larger wires, but if you exceed a particular current output for a given duration, you will overheat the battery. To safely increase current output, use two batteries connected in parallel.
How do resistors reduce voltage in an electrical circuit?
Resistors reduce voltage in an electrical circuit by impeding the flow of electric current, which causes a drop in voltage across the resistor. This drop in voltage is proportional to the amount of resistance in the circuit.
Reducing the current you a circuit causes what?
Reducing the current to a circuit causes a higher resistance -- assuming constant Volts. Also, reducing the current to a circuit causes lower Volts -- assuming constant resistance.AnswerAltering the current has absolutely no effect on a circuit's resistance. Reducing the current will reduce line losses (I2R) and reduce the voltage drop along a conductor.
If a resistor decreases in value what will happen to the current through the resistor?
If the voltage applied across the resistor remains constant, then as the resistance of the resistor decreases, the current through it will increase. Consider Ohm's Law: E = IR In this formula, in order for 'E' to remain constant as 'R' decreases, 'I' must increase. Another form of Ohm's Law: I = E/R If 'E' remains constant, then the value of the fraction increases as its denominator 'R' decreases.
