As you are billed on the consumption of wattage and wattage is the product of amp times volts the answer to your question is yes. An increase in current will result in an increase in electrical consumption.
Additional AnswerResidential consumers are billed on their energyconsumption (there is no such thing as 'electrical consumption' as 'electricity' is not a measurable quantity!), expressed in kilowatt hours.
There may be several reasons for an increase in load current. For example, if the residential load has a low power factor, it will be drawing more current than necessary, but the energy consumed will be no different from if the load had a high power factor.
So, for residential loads, an increase in load current doesn't necessarily mean a higher energy consumption.
What else can I help you with?
What can't we use step-up transformer to increase the voltage by producing electricity of lower voltage?
This question is not understandable. You can use a step up transformer to increase voltage; you can't increase voltage by producing electricity at a lower voltage; this will result in current flow into your generator, not current flow out (similar to operating a generator in the leading mode). Please explain further under "discuss question".
What is the Definition for ohms?
Ohm is the unit for electrical resistance. The definition is given by Ohm's Law: resistance = voltage / current; in SI units: ohms = volts / amperes. For example, a resistance of 1 ohm would result in 1 ampere of current for every volt applied.
What is An example of a short circuit?
A short circuit is one that is characterized by extremely low resistance. This will result in the extremely dramatic increase of current. High current will flow until a safety device opens the circuit, or the weakest link in it burns out. And one of the two usually occurs in a moment or two.==Short Circuit happens when the cables of the electrical appliances are worn out or it's not connected properly,a short circuit may occure.A short circuit has a very low resistance that almost all electric current flow through it.It'll affect the operation of the electrical appliances.Owing to the heating effect,the excess electric current would produce a large amount of heat,wihout a fuse or a circuit breaker,a fire may be occured when there's a short circuit.
What is the relationship between current and voltage in a thermistor?
V=IRR changes as a result of the change in temperature.
What is an electrical occurrence?
An electrical occurrence refers to any event involving the flow or interaction of electric charge, which can include phenomena such as lightning, electrical faults, or the operation of electrical devices. These occurrences can result from natural processes, like static electricity and atmospheric discharge, or man-made systems, such as circuits and motors. They can have varying effects, ranging from harmless to hazardous, depending on the magnitude and context of the electrical activity. Understanding these occurrences is crucial for safety and efficient electrical system design.
Does a increase in current limit result in increase in electrical consumption?
Not necessarily. If a load has a low power factor, it will be drawing more current than necessary, but its energy consumption will be no different from it having a high power factor.
What is dynamic current?
it is a flow of charge practically from negative to positive terminal
What type of burns are the result of current flowing through and exiting the body?
electrical burns
What is reduction in electric consumption?
It is the reduction of using electrical devices. Each device is rated in watts. Cutting back on the use of these devices will reduce the watt consumption that is metered at the utility meter. The reduction of electrical wattage consumption will result in a savings of money to you.
Expectations for the future tend to discourage current consumption?
Th expectations for the future that tend to discourage current consumption are as a result of high uncertainty. This is considered to be a major source of inflation.
If current in an electric stove is doubled how will the thermal energy produced per unit time change?
P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.
What type of ocean current moves into an area with the result of an increase in the humidity and temperature?
Cold current
What is the result of Aluminum doping on zinc oxide thin films?
Increase electrical conductivity
What effect if load increase in electrical system?
when load on the electric system increase frequency of the system will decrease resulting in higher intake at powergenerators. If higher intake is not net by powergeneration stations entire power system will collapse. It is called grid failure.Another AnswerAn increase in load will result in an increase in load current.
What type of burns are a result of current flowing through and exiting a body?
Electrical burns
What types of burns are the result of current flowing through and exiting the body?
electrical burns
Is electricity related to fire?
Yes. Electrical current that is not properly controlled can result in a fire.
