Question

3. Ohm's law is represented by the equation I = V/R. Explain how the current would change if the amount of resistance decreased and the voltage stayed the same.

Answer 1

Answer:

Current will increase

Explanation:

In Ohm's law the equation for current is current = voltage / resistance.

In order to explain how current is effected when resistance decreases while voltage stays the same, lets represents the situations with some possible inputs.

Let's compare 3 different closed circuits all with a voltage of 10V.

In circuit 1, the resistance is 5 ohm.

In circuit 2, the resistance is 2 ohms.

In circuit 3, the resistance is 1 ohms.

The current of:

Circuit 1 = Voltage / Resistance = 10 V / 5 ohms = 2 Amps

Circuit 2 = Voltage / Resistance = 10V / 2 ohms = 5 Amps

Circuit 3 = Voltage / Resistance = 10V / 1ohm = 10 Amps

As you can see in this representation, as the resistance in a circuit increases while the voltage is constant, the total current is increased.

Answer 2

Answer:

the current would increase.
