In a light circuit with a constant voltage what is the effect on the current if the light bulb is doubled?
If you add one extra bulb and the voltage remains constant, then you have doubled the current drained from the regulator.
12 Volt and One 12 Watt lightbulb drains 1 Ampere Current.
12 Volt and Two 12 Watt light bulbs drains 2 Ampere Current.
However:
If having a 24 volt powersource and you add two 12 Volt 12 Watt in serial, then you still only drain 1 Ampere Current.
NOTE:
Wattage and Voltage of bulbs may be different even if the sockets are the same.
Lower voltage on the bulb will increase the current drain, if voltage is a lot lower it might cause the circuit delivering voltage to burn out or blow a fuse. It can also quickly burn the bulb, sometimes in a fraction of a second.
It will however do little damage to add a bulb with higher voltage than the circuit is designed for. You will then only observe that you do not get the light you might hope for.
Total Current/Ampere= Combined Wattage divided by Voltage
Total Wattage = Combined Current or Ampere multiplied by Voltage.

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 circuit when voltage is doubled?
When the voltage in a circuit is doubled, the current typically increases, assuming the resistance remains constant according to Ohm's Law (V = IR). If resistance is unchanged, doubling the voltage will result in doubling the current. However, if the circuit components have nonlinear characteristics, the actual change in current may vary. Always consider the specific characteristics of the circuit for precise outcomes.
What happen to current in a circuit if the voltage is not charge but the resistance is doubled?
The current in the circuit will be decreased by half. Ohm's law states V=IR so, I=V/R. If R is doubled, then I= V/2R.
Does the amperage double when you double both the current and the voltage in a circuit?
No, the amperage does not necessarily double when both the current and voltage are doubled. Amperage (current) is determined by Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) equals voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). If both voltage and current are doubled while resistance remains constant, the new current would actually be four times the original current, not just double.
Will doubling the resistance in a circuit halve the current if voltage is held constant?
If resistance is halved while voltage remains constant, the current will double.
If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?
It is halved. coz voltage=current * resistance
If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains constant the current does what?
If resistance is doubled in a circuit with constant voltage, Ohm's Law (V=IR) states that current (I) would be halved since the voltage is constant. This is because the relationship between resistance and current is inversely proportional.
What would current amperes do if the voltage were doubled in a circuit?
If the voltage in a circuit were doubled, the current would also double according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), assuming the resistance in the circuit remains constant. This is because current is directly proportional to voltage when resistance is held constant.
What happen to current in a circuit if the voltage in not charged but the resistant is double?
In an electrical circuit, if resistance is doubled, EMF (measured in volts) stays constant, and current is halved.
What happens to the current in a circuit when voltage is doubled?
When the voltage in a circuit is doubled, the current typically increases, assuming the resistance remains constant according to Ohm's Law (V = IR). If resistance is unchanged, doubling the voltage will result in doubling the current. However, if the circuit components have nonlinear characteristics, the actual change in current may vary. Always consider the specific characteristics of the circuit for precise outcomes.
What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance remains the same when the voltage applied is doubled. Each branch in the parallel circuit will experience the same increase in voltage, but their individual resistances will remain constant.
What happen to current in a circuit if the voltage is not charge but the resistance is doubled?
The current in the circuit will be decreased by half. Ohm's law states V=IR so, I=V/R. If R is doubled, then I= V/2R.
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.
What happen is the potential difference across is double?
If the potential difference across a circuit is doubled, the current flowing through the circuit will also double, assuming the resistance remains constant. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is directly proportional to voltage when resistance is held constant.
Does the amperage double when you double both the current and the voltage in a circuit?
No, the amperage does not necessarily double when both the current and voltage are doubled. Amperage (current) is determined by Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) equals voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). If both voltage and current are doubled while resistance remains constant, the new current would actually be four times the original current, not just double.
If the voltage applied to a circuit remains constant and the resistance in the circuit is increased the current will?
V = IR Where, V = voltage I = current R = resistance Thus if resistance is increased with constant voltage current will decrease
How does current vary with the resistance in the circuit if the voltage is constant?
Inversely. As resistance increases, current dereases; given that the applied voltage is constant.
