If you double the voltage in a circuit and reduce the resistance by a factor of four, what will happen to the current? a) it will double b) it will decrease by a factor of 2 c) it will increase by factor of 8 d) it will decrease by a factor of 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c) increase by factor of 8

thank you.

current is directly proportional to voltage so if voltage doubles current doubles as well. current is inversely proportional to resistance so if resistance decreases by a factor of 4 current increases by a factor of four
