Question #314Basic Electricity and Electronics
If you increase the voltage across a resistor, what happens to the current
- As the voltage increases, the current decreases.
- The current will not change if the resistor stays the same.
- As the voltage increases, the current increases. ✓ Correct answer
- None of the above
Explanation: By Ohm’s law (I = V/R), increasing the voltage across a fixed resistance increases the current.
