The electric resistance is related to the diameter and extension of the wire submitted to a determined voltage which will determine the electric current flowing into the wire.

AnswerVoltage has no effect on resistance. Resistance is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of a material (resistivity is affected by temperature, so temperature indirectly affect resistance).

What is the relationship between voltage and current in electrical systems, specifically, does high voltage necessarily mean high current?

In electrical systems, voltage and current are related by Ohm's Law, which states that voltage equals current multiplied by resistance. Therefore, high voltage does not necessarily mean high current, as the current also depends on the resistance in the circuit.


How do design a high voltage voltmeter?

Use a voltage divider and an standard high input impedance voltmeter connected to the low voltage output tap of the divider. Just check that: a) the voltage divider has enough resistance to minimize loading of the voltage source (The voltage divider resistance should be as high as possible). b) the voltmeter's input impedance is at least 10-20 times larger than the output resistance (impedance) of the divider. If necessary add a high-input impedance amplifier or a transducer between the divider output and the voltmeter. What is high voltage for you?


How the voltage depending resistance works?

There are two ways of looking at this question, depending on what you mean by 'voltage'.The first applies to the supply voltage, which is quite independent of a circuit's load resistance. In other words, changing the load resistance will have no effect on the supply voltage (within limits; for example, and extremely-low resistance might cause the supply voltage to collapse!).The second applies to any voltage drops, which are proportional to the resistance across which they appear. If, for example, you have a high resistance and a low resistance, in series, then the higher voltage drop will appear across the higher resistance.


What is the relationship among voltage current and resistance in a circuit?

Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)

How do you measure Input high voltage?

You can measure high voltage by using Potential Transformer (PT). or by using utility meter or power manager. ANSWER: Adding a hi resistance in series with a low resistance and measuring that voltage drop. If the resistance is known then current is determined and the source can be calculated. transformers do not work well with DC,


Which of the coil of the wattmeter has high resistance?

The voltage (or 'potential') coil has the higher resistance, because it is connected in parallel with the load.


How can you block voltage until a certain level?

You can 'block' current ... like with a high series resistance ...but you can't 'block' voltage.


What kind of tests is a megger used for?

A megger is an instrument that generates a high voltage. That high voltage is then used for measuring insulation resistance, especially that of electrical devices.


Why do voltage have very high resistance?

Voltage and resistance are distinctly different quantities. I can say some voltages have very low resistances (and high currents), such as when you drop a hair dryer into the tub. You're question as it is written does not make sense.


What is the reason why it is better to use high voltage instead of low voltage on long distance?

High voltage reduces the amount of energy lost due to the resistance of the transmission material (conductor), by reducing the current. In other words, increasing voltage reduces current, and lower current means less resistance loss. Voltage and current have an inverse relationship, and later on when the electricity gets closer to the consumer, voltages can be decreased which increases the current. Increased current means higher resistance, and it is resistance that does the work.
