If amperage goes down and voltage remains the same what happens to resistance

V=I*R, so R=V/I

From looking at the formula: if I goes down, R will go up.

From thinking about it: if less current is drawn from a battery and it is still healthy (ie., the voltage remains the same), it has to be because the resistance increased.
