Question

Current in a conductor can be increased by:

Answer 1

THE CURRENT IN A CONDUCTOR CAN BE INCREASED BY BOTH INCREASING THE VOLTAGE ACROSS IT AND DECREASING ITS RESISTANCE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's law states that the voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to current passing through resistance and directly proportional to resistance.

According to ohm's law,

V = I * R

It means voltage is directly proportional to current and resistance.

current and resistance are inversely proportional to each other.

so from the above law it can be stated that current in a conductor can be increased by both increasing the voltage across it and decreasing its resistance.

Answer 2

Current in a conductor can be increased by Both of these (3rd Option )

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's law states that the current is directly proportional to its applied voltage and it is inversely proportional to the resistance between the points.

Factors increasing the current in a conductor are:

• As we know that resistance and conductance are inversely proportional to each other.

• As we increase the voltage across the two points, then the current in the conductor increases.

• As we decrease the resistance the current in the conductor increases.
