What happens to amps when you increase the resistance of a circuit?

When you increase the resistance in a circuit, the current (amps) in the circuit will decrease. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is inversely proportional to resistance, so as resistance increases, current decreases.


What is the relationship between volts per amp in an electrical circuit?

The relationship between volts and amps in an electrical circuit is defined by Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) is equal to the current (I) multiplied by the resistance (R) in the circuit. In other words, volts per amp is a measure of resistance in the circuit.


How many volts equal amps?

What you are asking is kinda like asking how many oranges in an apple.Voltage is the measure of electrical potential.Amperage is the measure of electrical flow quantity.A good illustration is a water pipe: you can have high pressure (volts) but unless the water is allowed to flow the quantity of water is zero. (amps)


Current times resistance equals what?

The voltage across a resistor multiplied by the current flowing through it equals the power dissipated by the resistor, according to Ohm's Law (P = V * I). So, the relationship between current and resistance is not directly related in that way.


How much current in amps flows through a circuit with a 100 resistance?

You don't have enough information in your question, you need to include the voltage as well. One relevant equation is V = I * R where V: Voltage, I: Amps, and R: Resistance. When you have the voltage divide the Ohm resistance into that and you'll get your amps.

Formula for watts and amps?

power in watts = voltage in volts x current in amps. or power in watts = current in amps x (resistance in ohms) squared i think what you meant was power in watts =(current in amps)squared x resistance in ohms


How many volts in 3.48 amps is?

The relationship between volts, current (amps), and resistance (ohms) is given by Ohm's Law: V = I x R. Without knowing the resistance, it's not possible to determine the voltage from just the current.

What effect are there when resistance is increased in the size of the current?

Current is inversely proportional to resistance. If you double the resistance, you halve the current. Ohm's Law: Volts = Amps * Ohms Solve for Amps: Amps = Volts / Ohms

What is the resistance of the AC electric Bulb in which current is 10 ampires when the potential difference is the 220 volts in your home?

The relationship between Volts, Amps and resistance is expressed by the following formulas. V = A*R, A = V/R, R = V/A, So to calculate the resistance of the lightbulb use R=220/10. Resistance equals 22 ohms. If you were to measure the resistance of the bulb with an ohm-meter you would get a lower reading. The resistance of the filement goes up as the bulb heats up. So the current (amps) are higher than 10 amps when the bulb is first turned on.


How many amps is 840watt?

Amps measure current; watts measure power; there is no way to convert between them without knowing more, such as either the voltage or the resistance.


What is the relationship between voltage and MA?

The "current" through any conductor is voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance .The current is measured in "Amperes" (amps)."MA" stands for "Milliamps". There are 1,000 of those in one whole ampere.So, the current through a conductor is1,000 times the voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance . . . in MA


The current in an electric current varies inversly as the resistance when the current is 25 amps the resistance is 16ohms What is the current when the resistance is 10ohms?

40 A -providing the voltage remains constant.


What are Ohms Law and the Power Law?

Ohms Law is used for the measurement of resistance. You can find the resistance in a series circuit using this equation; amps=volts/resistance or volts=amps x resistance.The Power Law is used to find the wattage in the circuit. You can find the amount of watts using this equation: watts=volts x amps.CommentOhm's Law has nothing whatsoever to do with either resistance or power.The equation, R = E/I, is derived from the definition of the ohm, and not from Ohm's Law.Ohm's Law simply describes a linear relationship between the potential difference across a conductor and the current through it. It does NOT describe the relationship between potential difference, current, and resistance.


How is electrical resistance calculated?

Resistance (Ohms) = Potential Difference (Voltage) / Current (Amps)


In a circuit is current proportional to resistance?

Ohms law is: I = V / R (current = voltage / resistance)... where if the voltage or resistance changes then the current will change. ... the current and resistance is a inversely proportional linearly relationship ...this means that if the resistance doubles then the current halfs, if the resistance halfs then the current doubles, etc...hope this helps
