How does the increase or decrease of potential difference affect the flow of the electric current?

Increase or decrease in potential results in the change in direction of the flow of electric current.


Should you increase voltage or resistance to increase flow in a circuit?

To increase (current) flow in a circuit you increase voltage (or decrease resistance). Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance


Why secondary terminal voltage decreases with increase in load?

An increase in load (equivalent to a decrease in resistance*) causes an increase in load current. This increases the internal voltage drop within the transformer, and the terminal voltage reduces accordingly.[*An increase in load means more current is being drawn by that load, so an increase in load is equivalent to a decrease in load resistance]


Do the induced voltage increase in a transformer when the magnetic field strength increase?

Yes, the more voltage you put in the more you get out. If the transformer is a 2 - 1 ratio and you put 240 in you get 120 out and when you put 480 in you get 240 out. Magnetic field strength and voltage have a direct relationship. +++ The field strength is actually a function of current, although as you say, increasing the voltage will increase the current hence the magnetic field.


What effect does decreased resistance have on a circuit?

resistance is the opposition to the flow of an electric current, therefore the current will decrease as the resistance increases. Resistance also creates heat. This is how the light globes in a circuit light up.

How do you increase the amount of current created by a generator?

You can use a transformer to increase the current. Note that this will also decrease the voltage. The total energy will not increase; it will decrease slightly, due to losses in the transformer.


What device is used to increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current?

A transformer is the device used to increase or decrease the voltage of alternating current (AC) This is done through a process referred to as inducing.It's operation is based on the fact that electricity produces a magnetic field around itself. By placing 2 coils of cable beside each other, the magnetic field of one coil will induce a voltage in the other coil.


What happens to the magnetic field if the current in the wire increases?

If the current in the wire increases, the magnetic field also increases.


Does transformer doubles the power?

No. Power is constant. Transformers neither increase nor decrease power, except for minor losses. They increase or decrease voltage, and they decrease or increase current, but the product of voltage and current, i.e. power, remains the same.


If the decrease voltage and the resistance stays the same is current increased or decreased?

This question follows Ohm's law which states, "Current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the current in the circuit. <<>> decreased
