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.


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.


When the resistor removed from a parallel connection of the circuit whether the resistance increase or decrease?

if we remove a resistor from the parallel connection the effective resistance value will be increased.


If a carbon resistor increases in temperature its resistance will?

This depends on the type of conductor. If the conductor has a positive coefficient the resistance will increase. If the conductor has a negative temperature coefficient the resistance will decrease.

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?

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.

What are two ways to increase the current in a wire?

Increase the voltage applied to the wire. Decrease the resistance of the wire.


How do you increase and decrease frictional force?

To increase frictional force, you can increase the roughness of the surfaces in contact, increase the normal force pressing the surfaces together, or increase the coefficient of friction by using materials that interact with more resistance. To decrease frictional force, you can use lubricants to reduce surface interaction, decrease the normal force, or use smoother materials to reduce resistance.


Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling obect?

Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.
