"If the potential difference across a resistor is doubled: "? "A. only the current is doubled B. only the current is halved C. only the resistance is doubled D. only the resistance is halved,, the answer is A, why?

Answered by admin @



Because potential difference is directly proportional to current hence, when potential diff. will be doubled the current will get doubled as well
