    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.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
