Question

use the drop - down menus to complete the statements. an increase in voltage results in in current. an increase in resistance results in in current. an increase a decrease

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law is $V = IR$, where $V$ is voltage, $I$ is current and $R$ is resistance. We can rewrite it as $I=\frac{V}{R}$.

Step2: Analyze voltage - current relationship

When $R$ is constant, from $I=\frac{V}{R}$, if $V$ increases, since $R$ is fixed, $I$ will increase.

Step3: Analyze resistance - current relationship

From $I=\frac{V}{R}$, when $V$ is constant, if $R$ increases, the value of $\frac{V}{R}$ (i.e., $I$) will decrease.

Answer:

1. An increase in voltage results in an increase in current.
2. An increase in resistance results in a decrease in current.
