That depends on the components in the circuit: resistive, reactive, nonlinear, etc.

If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains constant the current does what?

If resistance is doubled in a circuit with constant voltage, Ohm's Law (V=IR) states that current (I) would be halved since the voltage is constant. This is because the relationship between resistance and current is inversely proportional.


What is the method for calculating amperes and current?

To calculate amperes, you can use Ohm's Law: amperes = voltage ÷ resistance. Current is the flow of electric charge, measured in amperes, that passes through a conductor in a unit of time. You can measure current using an ammeter in a circuit.


What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance remains the same when the voltage applied is doubled. Each branch in the parallel circuit will experience the same increase in voltage, but their individual resistances will remain constant.


What Happens To The Overall Current Of The Circuit If The Number Of Receivers (and Thus The Number Of Branches) Is Doubled?

If the number of receivers (branches) in a circuit is doubled, the overall current of the circuit would also double, assuming that the voltage remains constant. This is because current is divided equally among the branches in a series circuit, so increasing the number of branches would result in each branch carrying less current if the overall current remained the same.


An electric DC circuit is attached to a 12-volt battery and has a 3-ohm resistor in it find the current flowing through the circuit?

Use the equation, V= IR from Ohm's Law V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance in ohms So then, solve the equation for I (the current) and you get I=V/R. Then just plug in the values... I= 12/3, which equals 4 A. (For current, it is measured in amperes, or just "A" as the unit.)

What is the differnece between volts and amperes?

Voltage is power Amperage is current. you can have voltage but nothing runs without a closed circuit and then current flows.


What happen to current in a circuit if the voltage is not charge but the resistance is doubled?

The current in the circuit will be decreased by half. Ohm's law states V=IR so, I=V/R. If R is doubled, then I= V/2R.


How many amperes of current will flow in a circuit if the voltage difference is 9 V and the resistance in the circuit is 3 Ω?

Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance 9 volts divided by 3 ohms = 3 amperes.

What is the current when a voltage of 36 volts is applied to a circuit with a resistance of 6 ohms?

Six amperes. Use Ohm's law: the current is the voltage divided by the resistance


What is the effect on current in a wire if both the voltage across it and its resistance are doubled?

it will cause a Short Circuit


What happen to current in a circuit if the voltage in not charged but the resistant is double?

In an electrical circuit, if resistance is doubled, EMF (measured in volts) stays constant, and current is halved.


If a circuit has a resistance of 4 ohm's how much voltage is needed to produce a 1.4 current in the circuit?

Voltage across a resistance = (resistance) x (current through the resistance) =4 x 1.4 = 5.6If the ' 1.4 ' is Amperes of current, then the required voltage is 5.6 volts.
