Write a hypothesis about the effect of increasing resistance on the current in the circuit. Use the "if . . . then . . . because . . ." format and be sure to answer the lesson question: "How do changes in voltage or resistance affect current in an electric circuit?"

If resistance in a circuit increases while voltage stays the same, then the current will decrease because current is inversely proportional to resistance (I = V/R).

Answer to lesson question: Changes in voltage and resistance affect current according to Ohm's law: increasing voltage (with resistance constant) increases current proportionally, while increasing resistance (with voltage constant) decreases current inversely. For example, doubling the voltage doubles the current; doubling the resistance halves the current.
