What occurs to the current within a circuit as resistance rises?
1 answer
As resistance in a circuit rises, the current flowing through the circuit decreases. This is described by Ohm's Law, which states that the current (I) in a circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance (R) and directly proportional to the voltage (V), as represented by the equation I = V/R. When resistance increases, the denominator in this equation becomes larger, resulting in a smaller current flowing through the circuit.
