    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.
 
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 have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
