Question

According to Ohm's law, a circuit with a high resistance _____.

- will have a low electric current
- will have a high electric current
- will have an equal electric current
- will have an electric current but the relative amount cannot be determined

Answer 1

will have a low electric current

Answer 2

The correct answer to the question is : A) Will have a low current.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the Ohm's law.

From Ohm's law, we know that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference maintained across the two ends of the conductor at constant temperature and pressure.

But, mathematically it is written as V ∝ I

⇒ V = IR

Here, R is a proportionality constant called resistance.

The current expression of Ohm's law is written as -

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

From above, we see that more is the resistance of the circuit, the lesser is the current flow in the circuit.

Hence, resistance is the opposition to the flow of current.
