It is a mechanical connection between rotating shafts which are generally not in parallel, but intersecting. It can allow positive transmission of rotating power at a much larger angle than is permissible with a flexible coupling. And it can transmit torque and motion.

Is the torque increased decreased or constant on a universal joint?

The torque in a universal joint varies as the angle of the joint changes during rotation. It is highest when the joint is at 0 degrees (in-line), decreases as the joint angle increases, and reaches its lowest point at 90 degrees.
