Because power is power. If you maintain the same power, while increasing the voltage, you must decrease current. P=IE.

What happen to the current in a circuit if the resistance is increased?

If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.

If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.


If the value of resistance increased then?

If the resistance is increased the current, which is inversely proportional, decreases and, the voltage drop increases.

How you increase current by keeping voltage constant?

If you are referring to a simple circuit, you could add resistance throughout it. Increased resistance means decreased current flow yet the same voltage.


If voltage and current are proportional why do they increase voltage in powerlines in order to decrease current?

Low current will equal low power losses due to the resistance of the cable. I squared R. (I is transmission current and R is resistance/Metre of cable) by increasing the voltage for the same amount of power the current decreases. Power transmission will take that advantage to transfer less current for the same amount of power.


If voltage remains constant and resistance decreases current flow?

the current will increase because of a lower level of resistance , hence more current will flow- easily


What happens to the voltage if the current increases?

Yes, if the resistance remains constant. Power is voltage times current, and current is voltage divided by resistance, so power is voltage squared divided by resistance. In essence, the power increases as the square of the voltage.


As the DC voltage applied to a circuit decreases what will the current do?

In a passive circuit, the current will decrease. In an active industrial circuit, it will usually decrease. In a theoretic manner - it is an unknown.


Does electrical current generally increase as resistance decreases?

Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance. So for a fixed voltage as R decreases then current increases proportionally.


Will current increase if the voltage in a circuit is increased?

Ohm's Law states Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage is increased and resistance is constant, current will increase proportionally to the rise in voltage.


VOLTAGE is decreased then what about CURRENT?

Ohm's law: I=E/R I=Current, E=Voltage, R=Resistance. If E decreases and R remains the same, I decreases.
