If you increase the voltage of an electric circuit, what happens to the current?
1 answer
In a simple circuit with a fixed resistance, when you increase the voltage, the current flowing through the circuit also increases. This relationship is known as Ohm's law, which states that current (I) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R): I = V/R. Therefore, if voltage increases and resistance stays the same, the current must also increase.
