thank you!

can you help me with one more question @Azureilai ?

azureilai · Answer

sure

anonymous · Answer

Discuss the relationship between amperage, voltage, and power @Azureilai

azureilai · Answer

Do you want me to describe it using terms like direct relationship, inverse relationship, or do you just want me to explain how they affect each other?

anonymous · Answer

Explain how they affect each other

azureilai · Answer

okay, it is really easy if you just look at the equation. Because power = voltage * current, if current or voltage rises, the power would rise. Similarly, if current or voltage decreases, the power would decrease. [That is the relation of voltage and current to power.] However, because voltage and current are on the same side of the equation, if voltage increased, current would decrease (power/voltage=current) and vice versa. [Relation of voltage to current, and current to voltage.]

Thanks so much!

azureilai · Answer

no problem. you can basically derive most of the relationship from looking at the equation.
