How does an increase in voltage affect current flow?

An increase in voltage leads to an increase in current flow due to Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) is equal to the product of current (I) and resistance (R), expressed as V = I x R. When the voltage rises while the resistance remains constant, the current must also increase to balance the equation.

This relationship illustrates that to maintain power consistency in an electrical circuit, a higher voltage translates into a higher current if resistance doesn’t change. Therefore, if a circuit experiences a voltage increase, it will result in a proportional increase in current flow, facilitating more effective conduction of electricity through the circuit components.
