current is the movement of charg carriers (normaly electrons) through a conductive material. the easyest way to think about it is that voltage is like a force pushing on the electrons, and resistance will push back against this. Current is then the result of these two factors. This is where we get the equation voltage=current*resistance. In answer to your question, increasing the circuit resistance will decrease the current in the circuit, as long as the supply voltage stays the same.

What happens to the current in a circuit if the voltage is kept constant but the wire diameter is increased?
If the voltage in a circuit is kept constant and the wire diameter is increased, the resistance of the wire decreases. According to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance, a decrease in resistance results in an increase in current. Therefore, with a larger wire diameter, more current will flow through the circuit at the same voltage.
Why does less current run through a circuit when there are more loads?
This happens only in pure series circuits, due to increased resistance.
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 voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
What happens when a bypass capacitor is shorted?
The circuit becomes a pure resistance circuit where current and voltage are in phase with each others.
What happens to the current in the circuit if the resistance is increased?
If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.
What happens to the current in a circuit if the resistance is increase?
If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.
What happens to the current in a circuit when the resistance is increased?
The flow of electrons meets an increased impedance to it's flow.
When the resistance in a circuit is increased what happens to the current?
The flow of electrons meets an increased impedance to it's flow.
What happens to the current in a circuit if the resistance in increased.?
If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by 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 happens when one bulb is added to a series circuit?
The resistance is increased, the voltage across each bulb is decreased and the current through the circuit is reduced.
What happens to the current in a circuit if the voltage is kept constant but the wire diameter is increased?
If the voltage in a circuit is kept constant and the wire diameter is increased, the resistance of the wire decreases. According to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance, a decrease in resistance results in an increase in current. Therefore, with a larger wire diameter, more current will flow through the circuit at the same voltage.
Why does less current run through a circuit when there are more loads?
This happens only in pure series circuits, due to increased 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 amps when you increase the resistance of a circuit?
When you increase the resistance in a circuit, the current (amps) in the circuit will decrease. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is inversely proportional to resistance, so as resistance increases, current decreases.
What happens to the current when the circuit gets cold?
When a circuit gets cold, the electrical resistance of the components may increase. This increased resistance can lead to a decrease in current flow through the circuit as Ohm's Law states that current is inversely proportional to resistance. Additionally, some materials, like semiconductors, may exhibit changes in conductivity with temperature, affecting current flow as well.
