Question

what happens to the current in a circuit as the resistance decreases? Increases?

Answer 1

Answer:

The current increases as the resistance decreases and the current decreases as the resistance increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the resistance measured in ohms 'partially blocks' some current, therefore the higher the resistance the lower the current vice versa

Answer 2

According to Ohm's law

V= IR

here V is the voltage applied across the conductor, I is current in the conductor, R is the resistance of the conductor

Keeping the voltage applied constant, if the resistance is decreased in the conductor then current will increase or vice versa.

Because if we keep the voltage constant, then the current will be inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor.

Therefore, we can say that the current will increase as the resistance decreases.
