How would increasing the voltage and the resistance affect the electric current in a simple circuit?

Question

A. Increasing the voltage would increase the amount of current. Increasing the resistance would decrease the amount of current.
B. Increasing the voltage would increase the amount of current. Increasing the resistance also would increase the amount of current.
C. Increasing the voltage would decrease the amount of current. Increasing the resistance also would decrease the amount of current.
D. Increasing the voltage would decrease the amount of current. Increasing the resistance would increase the amount of current.

Answer 1

A. Increasing the voltage would increase the amount of current. Increasing the resistance would decrease the amount of current.

According to Ohm's Law, the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in a circuit is given by the formula V = IR. If voltage is increased, the current flowing through the circuit will also increase, while increasing the resistance will reduce the current flowing through the circuit.
