yes
AnswerNo! Resistance is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of a conductor. Resistivity is, in turn, affected by temperature -so temperature indirectly affects resistance.
These are the only factors that affect resistance. Voltage and current have no direct effect whatsoever on resistance. Current can affect resistance indirectly if it causes the conductor's temperature to increase.
For AC circuits, 'skin effect', due to frequency, causes the current to flow towards the surface of a conductor which acts to reduce the effective cross-sectional area of that conductor. So, frequency can also indirectly affect resistance.
What else can I help you with?
In a typical starting circuit if voltage stays the same and resistance due to corrosion is increased amperage increases.?
In a typical starting circuit, if the voltage remains constant and the resistance increases due to corrosion, the amperage would actually decrease according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R). An increase in resistance results in less current flowing through the circuit, not more. Therefore, if corrosion increases resistance, the overall performance of the circuit will be negatively impacted, leading to insufficient current to start the device.
Doubling the resistance in a circuit will increase or decrease amperage?
If voltage remains constant and resistance is increased, the amperage will decrease per Ohm's Law.
What happens to the current in a device if the resistance of the device increases and the voltage difference stays the same?
If resistance increases and voltage stays the same, then current decreases. Ohm's Law: Current equals Voltage divided by Resistance.
What happens to the resistance of silicon as its temperature increases?
A: As temperature increases its resistance increases. Like all silicon diodes it will reach a point where the temperature coefficient is zero but it is at such elevated temperature to make it invaluable
When amperage is halved what will voltage do?
When amperage is halved in a circuit while maintaining constant resistance, voltage will also be halved according to Ohm's Law (V = I × R). However, if the resistance changes or if the power source is fixed, the relationship may differ. In a fixed resistance scenario, reducing amperage directly impacts voltage proportionally. Thus, in simple terms, halving amperage typically results in a halving of voltage if resistance remains constant.
What regulates amperage in a conductor?
Amperage in a conductor is primarily regulated by the voltage across the conductor and the resistance of the conductor itself, as described by Ohm's Law (I = V/R). When voltage increases, amperage increases, provided the resistance remains constant. Conversely, higher resistance results in lower amperage for a given voltage. Additionally, factors such as temperature and the material properties of the conductor can also influence resistance and thus affect amperage.
How much does amperage drop with distance?
Amperage drop with distance depends on the resistance of the conductor and the load. As distance increases, resistance increases, leading to higher voltage drop. This can result in lower amperage at the end of the circuit compared to the source. Use Ohm's Law (V=IR) to calculate the amperage drop based on the resistance and distance.
What happens to the current as the resistance decreases?
it increases
Why do we use thicker wires for heaters than for lamps?
Heaters draw a lot more amperage. As your amperage increases, so does resistance to the flow of the current. Too much resistance, and your wire overheats, melts the casing, and can potentially catch fire.
If amperage goes down and the voltage remains the same what happens to resistance?
The correct term is 'current', not 'amperage'. The answer is that nothing will happen to the resistance. Having said that, changing the resistance will cause current to change for a fixed value of voltage.Resistance is determined by the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of a material. Resistivity is affected by temperature, so resistance is also therefore indirectly affected by temperature. Only by changing one of these variables will the resistance change.Since the ratio of voltage to current will tell us what the resistance of a circuit happens to be (it's not affected by that ratio) for a particular ratio, the ratio will increase (as per your question) if the resistance increases. But it's not the ratio that's affecting resistance, its the resistance affecting the ratio!
What happens the power consumption of a circuit as its resistance increases?
😉
If the resistance changes in a circuit the amperage will also change?
I=V/R The smaller the resistance the greater the amperage.
When a wire is smaller the resistance increases What happens to the electrical current?
increase
How many amp is 21 volts?
To calculate the amperage, you need to know the resistance in the circuit. Amperage is calculated using Ohm's Law: Amperage (A) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R). Without knowing the resistance, we cannot determine the amperage.
What happens to the resistance of a common ohmic resistor when it is heated?
When a common ohmic resistor is heated, its resistance typically increases.
What happens when a part of a parallel circuit is disconnected?
current decreases and resistance increases
