Default Re: 12 volt conversion

From a preceding Post - "For the same resistance, the higher the voltage the lower the current."


Correct me if I am wrong, do not think that is correct.


If using Ohms law - Voltage (V) = Current(I) x Resistance(R). Then Current = Voltage divided by Resistance.


So if Voltage is Doubled with the same Resistance, Current Doubles.


When Converting from 6V to 12 V, the 6V components have to be swapped out with higher resistance 12 V components, or limiting resistors are installed in series with the components to limit current/voltage to the 6V part
