Ohm's law states that I = V/R, where I is current in amperes, V is difference potential in volts, and R is resistance in ohms. If I goes up, by relation, either V increases or R drops or both occur. Correspondingly, R = V/I, so if V stays static and I increases, R must decrease.?æ

Why it is said to be negative resistance region?
A negative resistance region is where the current goes up while the voltage goes down, or vice versa. This is a characteristic of the esaki or tunnel diode, when it is in its tunnel region.
What is the relationship between lamp brightness and resistance in a series circuit?
The higher the resistance the dimmer the light will become. The voltage drop (current) is proportional to the resistance as seen in the equation V=IR, since voltage remains the same throughout a series circuit if the equivalent resistance goes up the amount of current reaching the lightbulb must go down to equal the voltage thus creating a dimmer lightbulb.
How does voltage drop effect the amps?
Yes. When the voltage drops and the power requirement (watts) stays the same, the amperage goes up.
What happens to the total resistance of a series circuit when another resistor is added?
Simply put, the purpose of a resistor is to 'resist' the flow of current. Ohm's Law tells us that for a given voltage, the larger the resistance, or value of that resistor, the lower the current that will flow. Ohm's Law states that I (current) = E (voltage) / R (resistance) - where current is measured in amps, voltage is measured in volts and resistance is measured in ohms.
A battery connected to a resistor supplies a current of 4 amps. If another resistor of equal resistance is connected in series with first resistor the current the battery supplies will be how much?
Half that, or 2 amps. The basic rule in circuits is that voltage (E) equals current (I) times resistance (R). Here's how that expression of Ohm's law looks: E= I x R That means that current equals voltage divided by resistance, as is shown here: I = E / R This expression says that resistance is inversely proportional to current (with voltage staying the same). Further, if resistance goes up, current goes down. If resistance doubles (goes up by a factor of 2), which it does in the case specified in the question, then current is cut in half (goes down by a factor of 2). Half of 4 amps is 2 amps, and that's where the answer came from.
Explain how changing the resistance in a circuit chages the current?
Ohms' law says if voltage stays constant resistance controls the current flow. Resistance goes up, current goes down. E/I*R.
Why it is said to be negative resistance region?
A negative resistance region is where the current goes up while the voltage goes down, or vice versa. This is a characteristic of the esaki or tunnel diode, when it is in its tunnel region.
If current goes down in an electrical circuit and voltage remains the same what will happen to resistance?
v = i*RIf i goes down then R must go up (assuming v remains the same).AnwerCompletely impractical question. Resistance is not directly affected by voltage or current, so what you describe won't happen!
How does resistance effect the flow of current in a wire?
Resistance in a wire causes a decrease in the flow of current. This is because resistance impedes the movement of charge carriers through the wire, leading to a reduction in the overall current. Ohm's Law (V = I x R) shows the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit.
As resistance goes up where do current goes?
down
What is the effect of the temperature on the resistance?
It varies. On some items resistance goes up, some it goes down when temperature goes up.
What is the relationship between lamp brightness and resistance in a series circuit?
The higher the resistance the dimmer the light will become. The voltage drop (current) is proportional to the resistance as seen in the equation V=IR, since voltage remains the same throughout a series circuit if the equivalent resistance goes up the amount of current reaching the lightbulb must go down to equal the voltage thus creating a dimmer lightbulb.
Does wattage change as voltage change?
It depends by how much it changes. Power (watts) = current (amps) x voltage If the current halves and the voltage doubles, the power won't change. But if the current is cut in half and the voltage only goes up by a little bit the watts will go down. If the current only goes down a little bit but the voltage doubles, then the watts will go up.
What change occurs on current when voltage is in a circuit is constant and resistance gets double?
Ohms Law: V = IR (or equivalently, I = V/R) if voltage is held constant, then when resistance goes up, current goes down, and vice-versa. Say for instance, the voltage is 10 Volts, and resistance is 5 Ohms. That means the current is 2 Amps. (2 = 10/5) If the resistance is raised to 10 Ohms, then the current drops to 1 Amp. (10 = 10/1)
What is electricity current potential difference and resistance?
Voltage is the electrical pressure in a circuitAmperes (amps) are the measure of electrical current in a circuitOhms are the measurements of resistance in a circuitCurrent is essentially how fast electrons are moving in a circuitResistance is what impedes the electrical current, and can be found in the wire or various loads in a circuitHope this helps!
What is simple meaning of inverse?
It means opposite of any given element. e.g. The inverse of element "x" is 1/x. You can say that, for a given voltage, current is inversely proportional to resistance. This means that when resistance goes up by a factor of x, current goes down by a factor of x and vice versa.
How does voltage drop effect the amps?
Yes. When the voltage drops and the power requirement (watts) stays the same, the amperage goes up.
