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.

∙ 11y agoNot necessarily. They do if the load obeys Ohm's Law. If (and this applies to most loads) the load doesn't obey Ohm's Law, then they don't. For example, they do for resistors but they don't for lamp filaments.

∙ 13y agoThe question really is which voltage? The source voltage or the voltage across a given circuit due to a specific current input. And, of course, there are many different types of circuits. If you look at a simple circuit with resitance, capacitance and inductance values, you have a circuit impedance that can be calculated. Voltage and current are interrelated by the formula E=IZ where E is the Voltage, I is the current and Z is the impedance of the circuit. In a circuit that contains capacitance and inductance there will also be a lead or lag between the current and the voltage.

Ohm's Law: Voltage equals Resistance times Current
AnswerYour question is rather like asking, "Can height equal weight?" Voltage and current are two different quantities, so they cannot equal each other!
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoAccording to Ohm's Law, the current flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage, providing external factors such as temperature remain constant.

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).
Relation between voltage speed and current in alternating current motor?
voltage is inversly proportional to speed speed and current are directly proportional to each other but voltage and current are directly proportional to each other..
Are voltage and amperage directly proportional to each other?
when you put your ac directly on your dick then it is proportional. not a ac voltage
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 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 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.
Why are the equations for working out the current in a parrel circuit inverse?
In a parallel circuit the voltages for each component are all the same, and the current is shared, each component drawing a current depending on its conductance. In a series circuit, the current in each component is the same, and so each one gets a voltage proportional to its resistance.
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.
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:)
What is the purpose of the energy?
Energy meter works on the same principle as the induction motor. An aluminium disc is placed inside a magnetic core with two limbs. One carries a voltage coil so its flux is proportional to voltage, the second carries a current coil so its flux is proportional to current. The two fluxes induce eddy currents into the disc, each of which interacts with the flux of the other to produce a torque, which accelerates the disc. This torque of course is proportional to flux × the eddy current, which equates to V × I, or power. A permanent magnet creates another eddy current resulting in a torque proportional to speed that brakes the disc, the combined result of these actions is that the speed of the disc is proportional to power, and the total number of revolutions is proportional to the energy that has passed through the meter. The disc drives a chain of gears that turn a mechanical counter, called a 'register'.
