Yes, in accordance with Ohms law.

Accross a given resistance, current will increase directly proportional to the increase in Voltage.

Voltage(Volts) = Current (in Amps)x Resistance(in Ohms)

You can transpose the formula to find the unknown, given 2 of the values.

What is the difference between voltage output of a battery and the voltage across each DC bulb in a series circuit?

Exactly...you answered your own question. Each DC bulb will drop voltage according to its resistance and the amount of current it draws.


What happens to the voltage in a series circuit when more loads are added?

A: assuming a infinite current source the current will increase accordingly


How do you find the branch current in parallel circuit?

For each individual branch, you can use Ohm's Law - just divide the voltage by the resistance.


If a 12 volt parallel circuit has 4 lamps and each lamp consumes 1 amp what is the resistance of each lamp?

Assuming you mean the 4 lamps are in parallel with each other: the total voltage drop across each lamp is still 12V. As we know that V= IR (Voltage = I Current times Resistance) 12 = 1 x R so Resistance = 12 Ohms for each lamp.


What is the reason of voltage drop in electrical circuit?

Voltage dropsWhenever current passes through a resistance of some kind, a voltage drop occurs across that resistance. The amount of the drop is given by Ohm's Law:V=IRWhere:V = The value of the voltage dropI = The current through the circuit in amperesR = The total resistance of the circuitLet's say you have a simple series circuit containing a 10-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor, and a 2-ohm resistor in series with each other (if the resisitors are in parallel the voltage drop across the "system" of resistors is equivalent to the input voltage of the system, in this example 10 volts. The current flow through each resistor can then be calculated using Ohm's Law). Ohm's Law tells us that 2 Amps are flowing in the circuit (I = V/R = 10/5 = 2). The voltage drop across the 3-ohm resistor is 6 volts (V = IR = 2*3 = 6).

What are the component of ohms law?

basically there are 2 component of ohm law 1 is current (I) and other is voltage(v).Current and voltage are directly proportional to each other. If one increases other also increases and vise versa .this give a new Quantity resistance(R). V=IR R=V/I


Why voltage and current are in phase in a resistive circuit?

Because current and voltage are in proportion to each other, by Ohm's law.


What is the phase angle between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit?

The phase angle between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit is zero. Voltage and current are in phase with each other.


What happens to voltage in a series circuit?

Total voltage = the source. The voltage around the circuit is divided proportionally by each of the resistances in line. The current is = the source voltage divided by the sum of all the resistance.


What happens to voltage and current in a parallel circuit?

-- The voltage between the ends of each parallel branch is the same. -- The current through each parallel branch is inversely proportional to the resistance of that branch. (It's the voltage divided by the resistance of the branch.)


What determines the current in each branch of a parallel circuit?

The resistance of the component on that branch of the circuit, if the resistance is higher less of a proportion of the total current of the circuit will travel through that branch, however, if the resistance is low a higher proportion of the current will travel through that branch of the circuit. The voltage through each branch stays the same.


What is the relationship between the current and voltage in a pure inductive circuit?

In a pure inductive circuit, the relationship between current and voltage is such that the current lags behind the voltage by a phase angle of 90 degrees. This means that the current and voltage are out of phase with each other, with the current reaching its peak value after the voltage has reached its peak value.


Relationship between current and resistance?

Ohm's law: voltage = resistance time current.


What is your observation of the current in series circuit?

The current in a series circuit will be directly proportional to the voltage applied to the circuit, and inversely proportional to the resistance in it. Additionally, there will be one and only one path for that current, as it is a series circuit. All the current in the circuit will have to pass through each each element of the circuit. The current will all flow in one direction in a DC circuit; current is unidirectional. And will flow "back and forth" in an AC circuit, or will alternate directions, as one might expect.


What are Ohmic and Non - Ohmic conductor?

ohmic ocnductor is a material which obeys ohm's law: i.e. the voltage and current are directly proportional 2 each other anda non-ohmic ocnductor is a material which doesn't obey ohm's law:)
