True or False: Increasing voltage increases amperage.

The statement that increasing voltage increases amperage is true when considering Ohm's Law, which states that the current (amperage) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor. According to this relationship, if the voltage is increased and the resistance remains constant, the current will also increase.

This principle applies to both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) circuits, as Ohm's Law holds for both types of electrical systems. Thus, increasing the voltage in a circuit, while keeping resistance unchanged, indeed results in an increase in current.

It is important to consider that in practical scenarios, other factors such as the characteristics of the circuit components and safety limits may affect how voltage and current interact, but fundamentally, voltage and current are directly proportional under steady-state conditions as described by Ohm's Law.
