Which statement best explains the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance?

Group of answer choices

If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, we will also increase the current.

If we decrease the amount of current, this will not affect the amount of voltage, only the amount of resistance.

If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, this will result in a decrease in current.

If we decrease the current applied, and do not change the resistance, we increase the voltage.

The statement that best explains the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance is:

If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, we will also increase the current.

This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, which states that \( V = I \times R \) (where \( V \) is voltage, \( I \) is current, and \( R \) is resistance). According to this law, if resistance remains constant and voltage increases, the current will also increase.
