  1. By adding more resistors in series, as opposed to in parallel.

    OR

    By putting more loads (appliances) in your circuit.


  2. adding resistors ?

  3. For a given type of material its resistance can be increased by altering its physical characteristics. This is the basic principle when applied to cable calculations for electrical installation work.

    To explain further consider PVC insulated copper used as cable for a domestic electrical installation

    For a given cross sectional area of cable.  If the length of the cable is increased then its resistance is increased

    If the cross sectional area of a cable is reduced then its resistance increases

    If the temperature of a given cable increases then its resistance increases.  

    If you wish to increase the resistance of a circuit simply add more resistors in series
