Question

when the resistance of the conductor increase

Answer 1

Let V be voltage

Let I be current

Let R be the resistance

By Ohm's law :

V ∝ I

V = I R

Hence : I = V / R

==> I ∝ 1 / R

I is inversely proportional to R

• If R is increased , the value of I is decreased .
• If R is decreased , the value of I is increased .

Alternate explanation

Resistance is the obstruction in the path of the current .

If the resistance is increased then there will be more obstruction

Hence the current will obviously decrease if resistance is increased.

ANSWER :-

If resistance is increased then the current will decrease .

Hope it helps :-)
