If the resistance in a circuit is increased the current


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 276 People


2.. If the resistance of an electric circuit is increased , what will happen to the current ,assuming the voltage remains the same?

Answered by admin @



Answer:Ohm's law states that the electrical current (I) flowing in an circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Therefore, if the voltage is increased, the current will increase provided the resistance of the circuit does not change.
