Question

What happens to the current owing though a olcullas testslalice icreases?

A It increases
R
It decreases
C
It stays the same.
D. It reverses direction.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. It decreases.

In an ohmmeter test circuit, the current flowing through the unknown resistance (in this case, the object being tested) is determined by the voltage of the battery in the circuit and the total resistance of the circuit. The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance:

I = V/R

As the resistance of the object being tested (the "olculas" in this case) increases, the current flowing through it will decrease. This is because the total resistance of the circuit has increased, which reduces the overall current flow.

Therefore, the correct answer is that the current decreases as the resistance of the object being tested increases.
