Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the voltage in a circuit? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand what voltage is. Voltage is the force that pushes electric charges through a circuit.
  • Step 2: Know what current is. Current is the flow of electric charges in the circuit.
  • Step 3: Learn about Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law states that Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R).
  • Step 4: Recognize that if you increase the voltage (V) and the resistance (R) stays the same, the current (I) must increase.
  • Step 5: Conclude that increasing the voltage in a circuit leads to an increase in the current flowing through it.
