Question

In a 12 volt circuit a 20 ohm is replaced with a 12 ohm resistor what happens to the current​

Answer 1

current increases

Step-by-step explanation:

• In a volt circuit a 20 ohm is replaced with a 12 ohm resistor so it wil increases in current.

Answer 2

current increases

Step-by-step explanation:

For the same voltage, current is inversely proportional to resistance. If the 12-ohm resistor has the same voltage applied that the 20-ohm resistor had, the current will increase by a factor of 1 2/3.

In an arbitrary circuit, the current will depend on what else is in the circuit and where the current is measured. If putting a 12-ohm resistor in the circuit causes a fuse to blow, the current may go to zero, rather than increase.
