If you increase the resistance in a circuit but do not increase the voltage across a circuit, what will happen

Question

if you increase the resistance in a circuit but do not increase the voltage across a circuit, what will happen?

A. the number of amperes the circuit is carrying will increase.

B. the number of amperes the circuit is carrying will decrease.

C. the number of ohms in the circuit will decrease.

D. the difference in the potential energy at both ends of the circuit will increase

Answer 1

The equation you need here is V=IR

So if you increase the resistance and keep the voltage the same, then the current will decrease.

Answer 2

B

Answer 3

Ohms law is required to answer this: E/R=I Voltage divided by resistance equals current, if the numerator stays the same, and the denominator gets larger, the total decreases.

Amperes is the measure of current (I) Resistance (R) is in Ohms,  and Voltage (E) is in volts.

Answer 4

Resistance has no effect on voltage, if that's what your wondering.  only amps/current.  Higher resistance = lower amperage.

Answer 5

B. the number of amperes the circuit is carrying will decrease.

Answer 6

B.... the number of amperes the circuit is carrying will decrease
