Question

1. what happens to the current in a circuit if the voltage increases, but the resistance stays the same? current remains the same. current will fluctuate. current will increase. current will decrease.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law is \(I=\frac{V}{R}\), where \(I\) is current, \(V\) is voltage, and \(R\) is resistance.

Step2: Analyze the relationship

Given \(R\) is constant. If \(V\) increases (let \(V_2>V_1\)), then \(I_1 = \frac{V_1}{R}\) and \(I_2=\frac{V_2}{R}\). Since \(V_2>V_1\) and \(R\) is same, \(I_2 > I_1\).

Answer:

Current will increase.
