If the resistance increases, while the voltage stays the same, current will decrease.

Current = voltage divided by resistance

Is the increase in voltage causes a greater electric resistance in a circuit?

No, the resistance in a circuit does not change when voltage changes. Resistance is an inherent property of the circuit.


Reducing voltage in a circuit does not affect resistance?

Reducing voltage in a circuit does not directly affect resistance. It affects current. Resistance is an independent variable.Ohm's law: voltage equals current times resistance.However, reducing voltage and/or current does reduce power, which reduces temperature, which can change resistance because resistance is usually affected to some degree by temperature.


How does the ac resistance of a diode change as the voltage increases?

When the voltage increases the temperature in the diode also increases. When the temperature in the diode increases, the resistance decreases.


If the voltage impressed across a circuit is constant but the resistance increases by a factor of 7 By what factor does the current change?

A: 1/7


What happens to the voltage if the current increases?

Yes, if the resistance remains constant. Power is voltage times current, and current is voltage divided by resistance, so power is voltage squared divided by resistance. In essence, the power increases as the square of the voltage.


How do you change the ratio of a current to voltage?

Change the resistance in the circuit


Can you increase current in a circuit without change in resistance and voltage?

no it is not possibleAnswerYes, by changing the voltage OR the resistance.


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.


If voltage changes in a ac circuit what happens to current?

Voltage attempts to make a current flow, and current will flow if the circuit is complete. It is possible to have voltage without current, but current cannot flow without voltage. The answer is "yes",voltage remains the same as current moves through the circuit.As the voltage remains constant, current increases in the circuit.


If you double both the voltage and the resistance in a circuit what would be the effect on the current?

If you double the voltage in a circuit, the power is quadrupled, assuming the resistance stays the same.


When the resistance in an electrical circuit increases and the voltage does not change the current flowing in the circuit?

Here is the formula you use. I = E/R. I = amperage, E = volts, R = resistance in ohms.


In a series circuit when adding light bulbs does the current change?

Yes. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance. I = V / R where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. Adding light bulbs adds resistance. Current is constant throughout a series circuit; it doesn't change no matter what. Voltage changes.
