Answer:

As the voltage increases, the current flowing through the circuit increases while the resistance of the resistor remains constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage.

V = IR

where;

I is the current

R is the resistance

V is the applied voltage

Based on this law (Ohm's law), as the voltage increases, the current flowing through the circuit increases while the resistance of the resistor remains constant.
