Answer 1

If the voltage remains constant in a circuit but the resistance is increased, the current will **decrease**. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, which states that \( I = \frac{V}{R} \), where \( I \) is the current, \( V \) is the voltage, and \( R \) is the resistance. Therefore, as resistance increases while voltage is constant, the current will decrease.
