Answer:

Current increases

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Initial voltage =V

Resistance=R

Current=I

We know that

Ohm's law


V=IR


I=(V)/(R)

When V increases and resistance remains constant.Then, current depends on V .Current is directly proportional to V.

When V increases then the value of current is also increases.

Hence, when voltage increases and resistance remains constant then current increases.
