so lets say if pressure is constant and current increases, the resistance should stay constant?
By pressure do you mean voltage?
The resistance will stay constant
yes i meant volts. sorry lost internet briefly, I'm dertimined to get this today
These may help V=I R I=V/R if resistance was to increase keeping voltage constant current would decrease
the heavier gauge wire w a longer length would cause me more resistance or a thinner one?
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.
makes sense now the smaller wire is restrictive like a water hose, i really appretiate ur help today
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?
If current decreases, and resistance is a constant, then voltage must also decrease.
one more please, if watts are constant and voltage increases, the current will....?
