How would increasing the voltage and the resistance affect the electric current in a simple circuit?(1 point)

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

D. Increasing the voltage would decrease the amount of current. Increasing the resistance also would decrease the amount of current.

The correct answer is:

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

According to Ohm's Law (V = I * R), if you increase the voltage (V), the current (I) will increase if the resistance (R) stays constant. Conversely, if you increase the resistance while keeping the voltage constant, the current will decrease.
