Question

How does changing the potential difference in a circuit affect the current and the resistance?

Answer 1

The current will be increased and also for the resistance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The analysis of a direct current circuit can give us the explanation we need. Using the ohm law, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the current by the resistance we have:

`V=I*R\\where\\V= voltage [V]\\I= amperes [amp]\\R=resistance [ohm]\\`

The voltage is equal to the potential difference therefore we will have these expressions:

`I=(V)/(R) \\R= (V)/(I)`

If we increase the potential differential or circuit voltage, the current will also increase and so does the resistance by increasing the voltage. If we put numerical values in the equation given before, we can confirm this fact.
