Answer:

Decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's Law states that the electrical current which passes through a conductor between two points (starting and final points) is directly proportional to the voltage between those points and it's inversely proportional to the resitance of the conductor material.

So, from this, we deduct that the more volatage, more electrical current. But, the more resitance the less electrical current, which makes totally sense, because resitance works like a disipative force, which reduce the energy of a system, like friction.

Therefore, the right answer here is decreases, if the resistnace increases, the current decreases.

The following equation shows this relation


I=(V)/(R)
