When a dc supply is connected to a resistor, current flows.

The current in amps is equal to the supply voltage divided by the resistance in ohms.

The power used is the voltage times the current, and that appears as heat in the resistor, which might become hot to touch.

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 happens to voltage and resistance when increasing and decreasing is taking place?

As Ohm's law states; Current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.


A circuit has an applied voltage of 100 volts and a resistance of 1000 ohms What is the current flow in the circuit?

A circuit has an applied voltage of 100 volts and a resistance of 1000 ohms. The current flow in the circuit is 100v/1000ohms which would equal .1.


When an alternating voltage is applied to purely resistive circuit what happens?

When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive circuit, the resulting current is in phase with the voltage.


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


What does a current in a circuit depend on?

current depends on applied voltage and resistance.


How does the voltage applied to a circuit affect the current flowing through the wire?

Voltage is equal to the Current multiplied by the Resistance.Without changing the resistance, increasing the applied voltage in a circuit will increase current flow. There is a simple, direct relationship between voltage and current. Double the voltage, twice the current will flow. Triple the voltage, and the current will triple. As voltage (E) equals current (I) times resistance (R), when resistance is fixed, what happens to voltage will happen to current.


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.


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 resistance is in a circuit what happens to the current?

When you add resistance to a circuit, current goes down. Ohm's Law: current = voltage divided by resistance.


What does the size of a current depend on?

The size of a current depends on the voltage applied and the resistance of the circuit.


What is the relationship between the voltage output at the interface and the voltage across the series and parallel circuit?

Ohm's law states that the current in a circuit is inversely proportional to the circuit resistance. There is a single path for current in a series circuit. The amount of current is determined by the total resistance of the circuit and the applied voltage.
