My first question is with the relationship between current and voltage. I understand how they are related mathematically but not conceptually. Why would increasing voltage decrease current if the resistance stays the same? Why couldn't the current increase if there is more "push."
This leads to my next question. Who is the real "hero" for electrical power? Current is the flow of electrons, and voltage is the storage. However, you can generate the same power with different values. Is there a limit to how many amps you can have per volt or vise versa?
My last question is with step up transformers. How can more voltage be created when the source is permanent? Seems counter intuitive to the conservation of energy... Does the secondary coil act as a capacitor and simple store more energy?
I have read my text thoroughly and have searched online for these answers and cannot find them. It is not that I have not thought this through.
Thanks for your time
