Can you increase amps without having an increase in volts?

In general, increased resistance will lower current draw. See ohm's law (V = IR)


What happens to the circuit if the voltage was doubled for each step but the resistance was halved the current would 1- increase by twice as much 2- decrease by one-half 3- decrease by one-fourth 4-in?

If the voltage is doubled and the resistance is halved, according to Ohm's Law (V = IR), the current would actually increase by four times. Doubling the voltage increases the driving force for the current, while halving the resistance decreases the opposition to the current flow. Therefore, the correct outcome is that the current would increase by four times, not one of the options provided.


WHAT HAPPENS TO THE POWER OF THE RESISTANCE CONNECTED TO A BATTERY IS CUT IN HALF?

If the resistance connected to a battery is cut in half, the current flowing through the circuit will increase, following Ohm's Law (I = V/R). Since the voltage (V) from the battery remains constant, halving the resistance (R) results in doubling the current (I). Consequently, the power dissipated in the circuit, calculated using the formula P = I²R, will increase, as the increase in current outweighs the decrease in resistance. Overall, the total power consumed by the circuit will rise.


In a typical starting circuit if voltage stays the same and resistance due to corrosion is increased amperage increases.?

In a typical starting circuit, if the voltage remains constant and the resistance increases due to corrosion, the amperage would actually decrease according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R). An increase in resistance results in less current flowing through the circuit, not more. Therefore, if corrosion increases resistance, the overall performance of the circuit will be negatively impacted, leading to insufficient current to start the device.


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 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.


When tempratere increase resistance increase and when resistance increase current decrease why?

That's what "resistance" is all about: reducing the current for a given voltage. In fact, you can DEFINE resistance as voltage divided by current.


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


Due to heat would the resistance in non-ohmic material decrease or increase?

How do you increase amperage without changing voltage or resistance?

You cannot increase amperage without changing voltage or resistance. Ohm's law states that voltage is current times resistance. You cannot change one alone. Not even changing frequency in a capacitive or inductive circuit will do this, because changing frequency represents a change in reactance, which is effectively a change in resistance.
