One way of doing this, although maybe not the easiest, would be to use a so-called embedded computer. There are a number of embedded computers made for hobbyists that are relatively inexpensive and easy to use. Although these computers cannot themselves control 12 volts DC, they can control transistors or relays which in turn can turn 12 volt DC on and off. Two examples of these computers are the Arduino and the computers made by Parallax.

What does the am meter do in a circuit?

An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing in a 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


The current in a what circuit is the same at every point?

A series circuit has the same amount of current at all points in the circuit.CommentIt's not simply 'the same amount of current at all points''; it's the same current at all points.


What factor determines the amount of current to flow through a circuit?

current


What is the point of a resistor in an electrical circuit?

A resistor in an electrical circuit is used to control the flow of electric current and reduce the amount of voltage in the circuit. It helps regulate the amount of current that flows through the circuit and protects other components from damage due to excessive current.


What records the amount of current used by a circuit?

An ammeter.


Which branch in a parallel circuit has the least amount of current flow?

In a parallel circuit, each branch has the same voltage but different current flows. The branch with the highest resistance will have the least amount of current flow, as current follows the path of least resistance.


Do parts of a series circuit have the same amount of volts?

No. Parts of a series circuit have the same amount of current, but not necessarily the same amount of voltage.


Is the amount of current that flows in the wire of electric circuit the same as the current that flows in the filament of the light connected in that circuit?

yes


How do resistors work to limit the flow of electric current in a circuit?

Resistors work by impeding the flow of electric current in a circuit. They do this by resisting the flow of electrons, which reduces the amount of current that can pass through them. This restriction helps to control the amount of current in the circuit, which can be important for protecting components or controlling the overall function of the circuit.


What is the name of a device that can be used to control the amount of current?

A resister limits the amount of current passing through a circuit.


What job does the ammeter do in the circuit?

The ammeter measures the amount of current in a circuit.
