If the resistance stays the same and the potential decreases, what happens to the current?

Question

Group of answer choices

decreases

increases

reaches its maximum

stays the same

Answer 1

According to Ohm's Law, which states that \(I = \frac{V}{R}\) (where \(I\) is current, \(V\) is voltage (potential), and \(R\) is resistance), if the resistance \(R\) stays the same and the potential \(V\) decreases, the current \(I\) will also decrease.

So the correct answer is:

decreases
