Question

Which statement best explains the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance?

a.If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, this will result in a decrease in current.

b.If we decrease the current applied, and do not change the resistance, we increase the voltage.

c.If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, we will also increase the current.

d.If we decrease the amount of current, this will not affect the amount of voltage, only the amount of resistance.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's law gives the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance. Its mathematical form is given by :

V = IR

I is current and R is resistance

Resistance resists the flow of electric current in a circuit. When the amount of applied voltage is increased, it will not change the resistance. It increases the current. Hence, the correct option is (C).
