Answer:
Explanation:
Changing the resistance of a resistor means the resistance is either increased or decreased.
a. When the resistance of the resistor is increased, the value of current flowing through the circuit decreases.
Example: given voltage of 6V, and a resistance of 30 Ohm's. The value of current flowing in the circuit is;
V = IR
6 = I x 30
I = 0.2 A
If the resistance is changed to 50 Ohm's, then:
I = 0.12 A
(ii) When the resistance of the resistor is decreased, the value of the current flowing through the circuit increases.
In the previous example, if the resistance is changed to 5 Ohm's, then:
V = IR
6 = I x 5
I = 1.2 A
(b) The voltage of the battery does not change since it is directly proportional to the current flowing through the circuit. Consider the examples stated above.
