Will an increase of voltage also increase Amps?

AI Thread Summary
An increase in voltage generally leads to an increase in current (amps) according to Ohm's Law, which states that current is directly proportional to voltage in a resistive circuit. The water analogy effectively illustrates this concept, where voltage is compared to pressure and current to the flow rate of water. Thus, if voltage increases, more current can flow through the circuit, assuming resistance remains constant. This relationship holds true in simple electrical systems. Therefore, the answer to whether an increase in voltage also increases amps is yes.

Will an increase of voltage also increase Amps?

The Attempt at a Solution



I always hear this water analogy where voltage is equivalent to pressure. If I picture a pipe with some water coming out the end, increasing pressure will result in more water coming out the end per unit time, and so the answer to my question should be yes? Correct?

If it is a simple Ohm's law system then yes, increasing voltage, increases current.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
