Question

which statement describes the relationship of resistance and current? resistance is directly proportional to current because ( r=\frac{v}{i} ). resistance is inversely proportional to current because ( r=\frac{v}{i} ). resistance is directly proportional to current because ( r = vi ). resistance is inversely proportional to current because ( r = vi ).

Explanation:

Ohm's Law states resistance \( R = \frac{V}{I} \). For constant voltage \( V \), \( R \) and \( I \) have an inverse relationship (as one increases, the other decreases proportionally). The correct formula is \( R = \frac{V}{I} \), not \( R = VI \), so options with \( R = VI \) are wrong. Among the remaining, inverse proportionality matches the relationship when \( V \) is constant.

Answer:

Resistance is inversely proportional to current because \( R = \frac{V}{I} \)
