Ohm's Law says that Voltage = Current x Resistance (Load).

Therefore Current = Voltage / Resistance and as resistance decreases current increases and as resistance increases current decreases.

What is a description of the loading effect of an ammeter?

loading of an ammeter in a circuit decreases the flow of current,so it has to be calculated to reduce expected errors in the operations


How can an ammeter be connected in a circuit and not effect the flow of current?

The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.


Loading effect due to shunt connected instruments and series connected instruments?

Loading effect refers to the impact that measuring instruments have on the circuit they are connected to. For shunt-connected instruments, this effect is minimized because they are designed to draw a small amount of current, allowing the majority of the circuit's current to pass through without significant alteration. In contrast, series-connected instruments can introduce a higher resistance into the circuit, potentially altering the current flow and affecting the accuracy of the measurement. Thus, shunt configurations typically have less loading effect compared to series configurations.


What do you mean by magnetic affect of electric?

The magnetic effect of electric current is known as electromagnetic effect. It is observed that when a compass is brought near a current carrying conductor the needle of compass gets deflected because of flow of electricity. This shows that electric current produces a magnetic effect.


What is the effect if there is a sudden flow of electric current?

electric shock


How does gravity affect the lava flow?

As a physycist, I can assure you this has no effect.


How does temperature affect current flow in electrical circuits?

Temperature can affect current flow in electrical circuits by changing the resistance of the materials in the circuit. As temperature increases, the resistance of the materials also increases, which can reduce the flow of current in the circuit. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the resistance decreases, allowing for more current to flow through the circuit.


What are the five factors that affect current flow?

The five factors that affect current flow are voltage (potential difference), resistance (opposition to flow), conductive material, temperature (affecting resistance), and circuit configuration (series or parallel).


How does a resistor affect the flow of current in an electrical circuit?

A resistor restricts the flow of current in an electrical circuit by resisting the flow of electrons. This causes a decrease in the amount of current that can pass through the circuit.


What is the effect of resistance of the flow of current?

Thet resistor opposes the flow of current through it becoz of its internal construction. Its material has opposing property.


What is Hall effect and what is a Hall effect current transformer?

a current flow close to a magnetic source it influence the sources hall effect is a disturbed signal as a function of speed.


How do you explain the effect of the number of batteries on the amount of current produced?

The number of batteries has only an effect on the amount of current when they are equivalent and connected in parallel. The amount of current that can flow from a group of batteries connected in series is limited to the current provided by the battery that produces the lowest current flow in the string.
