This question makes no sense as written. However, maybe it will help to know that for a given load if you increase voltage the current increases proportionally and if you decrease the voltage the current decreases proportionally. Ohm's Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance.

Ohm's Law is Voltage = Resistance x Current

So if you hold resistance constant, an increase in Voltage increases current by a proportional amount and vice versa if you decrease voltage.

Transfomers are used to step up or step down voltages. Example is a door bell transformer steps 120 volts AC to 24 volts AC

Increases or decreases in voltage are just that; they are changes in voltages. And changing voltage is the way electronic stuff works.

What is the name of the component that is used to increase or decrease alternating voltage?

A transformer is used to increase or decrease alternating voltage.


How do you decrease voltage?

Increase resistance


When are electromagnets used to increase or decrease the voltage of electric currents?

Electromagnets are never used to increase or decrease the voltage in a circuit. These magnets in conjunction with a rotating device (an armature) can create a voltage but the do not have any effect on a voltage.


Does transformer doubles the power?

No. Power is constant. Transformers neither increase nor decrease power, except for minor losses. They increase or decrease voltage, and they decrease or increase current, but the product of voltage and current, i.e. power, remains the same.


Should you increase voltage or resistance to increase flow in a circuit?

To increase (current) flow in a circuit you increase voltage (or decrease resistance). Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance

How do you increase voltage in a generator?

At least to a certain extent, by increasing the field current. Or In Real Power Plant they decrease the power factor to increase the voltage.


Does voltage increase or decrease as resistance rises Don't tell me about ohm's law i don't care. I just want a one word answer of increase or decrease And don't tell me it depends on the current?

Your question scares me but you don't know where I live, so I'd say it's a decrease in voltage. DECREASE


Why does the terminal voltage increase in leading load?
