how does resistance become infinite if we remove the resistance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

resistance is difficulty in flow of current.... if you ll remove the resistance then current will not flow.... you can think of resistance as a bridge, If you ll destroy the bridge, then traffic won't be able to cross the river etc. because there won't be anything to move on......

thank u

pleasure

Waqassaddique is right, current is a function of resistance, it need continuity, So when R=V/I, when you break the continuity then I(current) comes to zero, means no current flowing, So by Mathematically R=V/0 (which is equal to infinity)
