so lets say if pressure is constant and current increases, the resistance should stay constant?

OpenStudy (tainted):

By pressure do you mean voltage?

OpenStudy (tainted):

The resistance will stay constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i meant volts. sorry lost internet briefly, I'm dertimined to get this today

OpenStudy (tainted):

These may help V=I R I=V/R if resistance was to increase keeping voltage constant current would decrease

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the heavier gauge wire w a longer length would cause me more resistance or a thinner one?

OpenStudy (tainted):

A thinner wire has a higher resistance which creates a voltage drop across it and the power losses are dissipated as heat on the wire.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

makes sense now the smaller wire is restrictive like a water hose, i really appretiate ur help today

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is still my weak point in the math part, i get the equations but if i dont have numbers i cant seem to grasp, if resistance is constant and current decreases, the voltage will........ remain constant?

OpenStudy (tainted):

If current decreases, and resistance is a constant, then voltage must also decrease.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one more please, if watts are constant and voltage increases, the current will....?
