Answered by maham237 @



Considering the answers.
1. Halve the voltage across it
2. Quarter the voltage across it
3. Double the voltage across it
4. Quadruple the voltage across

The appropriate answer would be 3. Double the voltage. According to ohms law the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points at a constant resistance. Therefore a increase in voltage causes a corresponding increase in the current.
