If you measure zero current, then there are two possibilities,
and there's no way you can tell which one is true without
another measurement.
-- The voltage across the circuit may be zero,
and the resistance could be anything.
-- The resistance of the circuit may be infinite,
and the voltage could be anything.

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

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

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


Does resistance depend upon current?

The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.


What is meant by resistance of a current?

The resistance of a current is a measure of how difficult it is to push the electrons along.AnswerThere is no such thing as the 'resistance of a current'. Resistance is a characteristic of the material through which a current flows, not of the current itself.

How can you determine the resistance of a current?

Voltage = Current x Resistance giving us Current = Voltage / Resistance i.e. Voltage divided by resistance


Does lowering resistance increase current?

Current is proportionally inverse to resistance and when the voltage is fixed, lowering resistance will increase the current


How does loading effect affect flow of current?

Ohm's Law says that Voltage = Current x Resistance (Load). Therefore Current = Voltage / Resistance and as resistance decreases current increases and as resistance increases current decreases.


Why do the resistance is zero in case of short circuit?

The current is 0. Current is the unit of flow of electrons in a circuit, and in an open circuit, electrons cannot flow. Therefore there is 0 current. Another way to look at it is that I = V / R, where I = Amps (current), V = voltage, and R = resistance (impedance). In an open circuit, the impedance is infinite, and by using our math skills, we know that X (or V in our case) divided by infinity, is 0. I = V / Infinity = 0


How does increasing the resistance affect the current?

Increasing resistance decreases current.


How does the increasing the resistance affect the current?

Increasing resistance decreases current.


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.
