to amp or not to amp

[newbeetech]

on heating elements or just loads in general,,, whats the theory is it more resistance more amp draw or the other way around ? im thinking the more current /electrons traveling through the wire/cunductor/element, the more amp draw.

Just think about it in terms of Ohm's Law:

E = I x R

Where:
E = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance

If you rearrange the equation to solve for Current, it would look like this:

I = E / R

So you can see from this that if the voltage is constant, a higher resistance will result in a lower current.
