Which statement correctly describes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance? If we A: decrease the resistance, and do not change the voltage, the current will decrease. B: decrease the voltage, and do not change the resistance, the current will also decrease. C: increase the resistance, and do not change the current, the voltage will remain the same. D: increase the current, and increase the resistance, the voltage will decrease.

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

do u know the relationship between current voltage and resistence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Voltage is the force motivating electrons to "flow" in the circuit... and Resistance is when free electrons tend to move through conductors with some degree of friction, or opposition to motion.

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah and relationship between them is given by ohms law which is \[V=IR\] \[V=voltage\] \[I=current\] and \[R=resistence\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but what would the answer be though?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah that gives option C increase the resistance, and do not change the current, the voltage will remain the same.
