Answer:
D.
R increases
V is constant
I decreases
Explanation:
The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:
It is clear from this formula that resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire. So, when length of wire is increased, <u>the resistance of circuit increases</u>.
The <u>voltage in the circuit will be constant</u> as the voltage source remains same and it is not changed.
Now, we can use Ohm Law:
V = IR
at constant V:
I ∝ 1/R
it means that current is inversely proportional to resistance. Hence, the increase of resistance causes <u>the current in circuit to decrease.</u>
Therefore, the correct option will be:
<u>D.</u>
<u>R increases </u>
<u>V is constant </u>
<u>I decreases</u>
