5. In a series circuit, if more electric devices are added, what happens to the current in the circuit when the battery voltage does not change? A. always decreases C. sometimes decreases B. always increases D. sometimes increases
Answers
Answer:
a) always decrease
Explanation:
Current is inversely proportional to resistance.
if we are going to add more electric devices that we are going to add more resistance .
If we increase resistance then current will definitely decrease.
I is inversely proportional to R.
Given : In a series circuit, more electric devices are added,
To Find : what happens to the current in the circuit when the battery voltage does not change?
A. always decreases
B. always increases
C. sometimes decreases
D. sometimes increases
Solution:
I = V/R
I = Current
V = Voltage
R = Resistance
if V is constant
Then I ∝ 1/R
No electric device is Resistance Free
And resistance in series gets added
Hence when more electric devices are added the resistance of circuit increases
as I ∝ 1/R
Hence on increase of resistance , Current will Decrease
Hence always decreases is correct answer
Correct option is A) always decreases
