You have it backwards, the resistance controls the current not the current controls the resistance. I = E/R . Your question should read, "If the voltage is constant and the resistance in the circuit is increased what happens to the current?" Say the voltage is 120 volts and the resistance is 30 ohms, I = 120/30 = 4 amps. Now we double the resistance to 60 ohms, then I = 120/60 = 2 amps. So now you can see if you increase the resistance the current drops.
What else can I help you with?
If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?
It is halved. coz voltage=current * resistance
What happens to the current in a device if the resistance of the device increases and the voltage difference stays the same?
If resistance increases and voltage stays the same, then current decreases. Ohm's Law: Current equals Voltage divided by Resistance.
What happens to the current flow in a circuit when a second component is added in series?
The total current decreases.According to the Ohm's law the current & the resistance are inversely proportional so when we put a load in series with the existing load, the resistance of the circuit increases therefor the current decreases.
What happens to the time taken for the capacitor to charge and discharge when you increase the resistance in the circuit?
It increases. The time constant of a simple RC circuit is RC, resistance times capacitance. That is the length of time it will take for the capacitor voltage to reach about 63% of a delta step change. Ratio-metrically, if you double the resistance, you will double the charge or discharge time.
What will happens to current when cable length increases?
With a constant voltage and increase in wire length will increase the end to end resistance and therefore the current will decrease.
What happens to the current as the resistance decreases?
it increases
When resistance decreases what happens to current?
Based on the simplest Electrical Equation V = I * R,(reads: voltage equals current multiplied by resistance)then, rearranged I = V / R .As resistance decreases, current flow proportionately increases
If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?
It is halved. coz voltage=current * resistance
When a wire is smaller the resistance increases What happens to the electrical current?
increase
When the resistance in a circuit increases what happens to the current flow?
"Ohms Law" defines resistance (R) as the the ratio of voltage (V) to current (I).R = V/IIf you move those variables around, you can get the formula:I = V/RSo you can see that when resistance increases, current flow will decrease.CommentResistance is most definitely not defined as 'the ratio of voltage to current', although that ratio may tell you what it happens to be.Resistance isn't a variable in the Ohm's Law equation. It is a constant because it is unaffected by either current or resistance.
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.
What happens to the current in a device if the resistance of the device increases and the voltage difference stays the same?
If resistance increases and voltage stays the same, then current decreases. Ohm's Law: Current equals Voltage divided by Resistance.
What happens when a part of a parallel circuit is disconnected?
current decreases and resistance increases
What happens when you halve the resistance in a circuit when voltage remain constant?
Since resistance is the ratio of voltage to current, we can say that halving the resistance will result in twice the current.
What happens with electric current when applying the same voltage the resistance of the circuit is reduced?
As the resistance is reduced across the same voltage, the current increases.
What happens to the current flow in a circuit when a second component is added in series?
The total current decreases.According to the Ohm's law the current & the resistance are inversely proportional so when we put a load in series with the existing load, the resistance of the circuit increases therefor the current decreases.
What happens to the current when the voltage is doubled and the resistance is constant?
If the voltage is doubled and the resistance is constant, Ohm's Law states that the current will also double. This is because the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is linear, and increasing the voltage will directly increase the current flow.
