Ohm's Law states Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence if voltage is increased and resistance is constant, current will increase proportionally to the rise in voltage.

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


Can you increase current in a circuit without change in resistance and voltage?

no it is not possibleAnswerYes, by changing the voltage OR the resistance.


How can you make an electric current stronger?

An electric current through a resistive circuit can be increased by decreasing the resistive load or increasing the voltage of the circuit.


If the resistance in the circuit is increased what will happen to the current and voltage?

* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.


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

What happens to the voltage if the current increases?

Yes, if the resistance remains constant. Power is voltage times current, and current is voltage divided by resistance, so power is voltage squared divided by resistance. In essence, the power increases as the square of the voltage.


What happens to the current in a circuit if the resistance is increase?

If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.

What happens to voltage when current is increased?

current is decreased Depends of the circuit or device: in a stepdown transformer: power in= power out, V x I = V x I , Increase voltage in (power remaining constant) you current output will increase.

How does changing the voltage in a circuit affect the current in the circuit?

Changing the voltage in a circuit will alter the current flowing through it. According to Ohm's Law, the current is directly proportional to the voltage in the circuit. Increasing the voltage will lead to an increase in current, and vice versa.
