Question

What happens to the current as the resistance gets larger?

Answer 1

A: It also gets larger
B: It gets smaller
C: It stays the same

Answer 2

The current will reduce. That is only if the voltage remains constant and the resistance increases.

It can be looked at in this equation: V=I*R
V=Voltage
I=Current
R=Resistance

R=V/I, and hence resistance is indirectly proportional to current.

Therefore, an increase in resistance would have the effect of decreased current.

Hope this helped!
