    12v Converter
AI Thread Summary
Increasing voltage results in a decrease in current, as described by Ohm's Law (I = V/R). To increase current, one can either raise the voltage or reduce the resistance of the circuit element. The relationship between primary and secondary currents in a transformer indicates that the current in the primary circuit is affected by the secondary load. Clarification on the topic of transformers is needed, as it introduces complexities in understanding voltage and current relationships. Understanding these principles is essential for effective power management in electrical systems.

when u go up in volts then your amps will go down.
How can I then increase amps?.
Is it just by increasing the power of the source?
Any help. Explain please.

Very simple, the current is determined by the effective resistance of the element.

The current through an element is based on resistance/voltage, and then just use ohm's law (V/R=I)

The easiest case is resistance. The two ways to increase current through a resistor is to either up the voltage or to pick a resistor with less resistance.

EDIT:
I am slightly confused by your title though. If you mean a transformer that's a different topic altogether.

For example, original case, 2x change in windings. Thus you double up voltage. Now this means that current in the primary circuit will be twice more than in the secondary. The current is set by the secondary on the primary. The voltage is set by the primary.
 
Thanks for your answer. I will try to make a better explanation later today.
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
