I = E / R

Current is directly proportional to voltage.

If voltage is multiplied by 'X', current will be multiplied by 'X'.

If voltage is divided by 'K', current will be divided by 'K'.

If voltage is reduced by half, current will be reduced by half.

Why in a circuit using power I equals Watts divided by Volts when you increase voltage the current will reduce so why does this differ from Ohms law when you increase voltage the current increases?

When you increase voltage (V) then, to get the same total power (W), the current (I) must be decreased. This result comes from the Power Law: Power = voltage x current Ohms Law does not deal with power at all, it deals only with the relationship between voltage, resistance and current: Voltage = resistance x current


What equation relates power to current and resistance?

Power = (current) times (voltage)Current = (Power) divided by (voltage)Voltage = (Power) divided by (current)


If the voltage in a resistive is double the power will be?

In a resistive load circuit, the power = multiplication of voltage and Current. By increasing the voltage power will not be increased. Power is defined by the load as per its design. If the voltage is higher the load current will reduce. However running a load at double the rated voltage is not good for the device. Insulation may fail.


What is the relationship between voltage power and current?

The unit of power is watts, the unit of current is amps, and the unit of voltage it volts. Power = Voltage X Current Voltage = Power / Current Current = Power / Voltage In electricity, power is symbolized with a P, current with an I, and voltage with a V. The real formula looks like: P = V x I V = P / I I = P / V


Why transposition required of low voltage power transformer winding?

It is to reduce circulating current losses on winding.

How do you reduce the Power dissipation?

Answer for mechanical systems:Use oil or grease to reduce friction!Answer for electrical systems:Making the voltage as high as possible is a good way to reduce power loss.ExplanationThe voltage drop along a conductor is proportional to the resistance and to the current carried. (V=IxR) So, for a given quantity of Power (W=VxI), if the voltage is made as high as possible there will be less current flowing and therefore less power loss.

What happens to voltage when current is increased?

current is decreased Depends of the circuit or device: in a stepdown transformer: power in= power out, V x I = V x I , Increase voltage in (power remaining constant) you current output will increase.

In long distance overhead lines why voltage increase?

to reduce current and the resulting I2R waste of power.


What happens when a motor only has voltage no current?

Power is voltage times current. If there is no current, then there is no power. Without power, no work can be done, so the motor will do nothing.In all probability, if this is happening to a motor, then there is an open circuit someplace, perhaps an open winding.


when voltage increases and currents stays the same what happens to wattage?

Power = voltage * current * cos (power factor); So if voltage increases, and current stays unchanged, power usage will also increase in proportion. A: Power is a factor of voltage and current therefore the power will increase if one or both are increased


What is the meaning of current lags voltage?

'Current lags voltage' means that in the AC cycle the voltage peaks and the current peaks a little time (a fraction of a cycle) later. This happens with electrical loads like motors. When the current lags, there is a small period in each half-cycle when the voltage has reversed and the current has not reversed yet. This causes power to flow back into the supply from the load. So there is a loss of average power fed to the load for a given voltage and current. In this situation the power is the voltage times the current times the power factor, and the power factor is the cosine of the angle by which the current lags the voltage (counting 360 degrees as a full cycle).
