ohms law quiz
science ae 8 b (526ac8) #8208 / module 7: electricity and magnetism

1. what happens to current in a circuit when the resistance increases, and the voltage remains the same?

current will increase and then decrease.
current will increase.
current remains the same.
current will decrease.

Explanation:

Ohm's Law states $I=\frac{V}{R}$, where $I$ is current, $V$ is voltage, and $R$ is resistance. When $V$ is constant, current $I$ is inversely proportional to resistance $R$. So increasing $R$ will lower $I$.

Answer:

Current will decrease.
