How are the current and resistance related when the voltage of a circuit is constant?

The current doubles when the resistance doubles because they are directly proportional.
The current doubles when the resistance doubles because they are inversely proportional.
The current is cut in half when the resistance doubles because they are directly proportional.
O The current is cut in half when the resistance doubles because they are inversely proportional.

Answer:

The current is cut in half when the resistance doubles because they are inversely proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's law states that the electrical current (I) flowing in a circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R).

I = V/R

Similarly, increasing the resistance of the circuit will lower the current flow if the voltage is not changed.
