Which statement best explains the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance? If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, this will result in a decrease in current. If we decrease the current applied, and do not change the resistance, we increase the voltage. If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, we will also increase the current. If we decrease the amount of current, this will not affect the amount of voltage, only the amount of resistance.

I think the answer is from Ohm's Law.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is the handy dandy formula for .... yeah ohms law

OpenStudy (amistre64):

V = IR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is amperage another word for current?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then i think the answer is the third option?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if R is constant, V and I increase assume R = 1, the V = I

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wait. i think im wrong. let me try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the first option?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lets say R = 1, and V = 2 therefore I = 2 2v = 2i what happens when we increase one side? what happens to keep things equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the other side is the same?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the other side increases

OpenStudy (amistre64):

3rd option is fine

OpenStudy (amistre64):

If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, we will also increase the current.

ok now i understand. it is actually hard to keep track when you have to scroll up and down bcuz then i lose my train of thought. thank you so much!
