Question #314Basic Electricity and Electronics

If you increase the voltage across a resistor, what happens to the current

  1. As the voltage increases, the current decreases.
  2. The current will not change if the resistor stays the same.
  3. As the voltage increases, the current increases. ✓ Correct answer
  4. None of the above
Explanation: By Ohm’s law (I = V/R), increasing the voltage across a fixed resistance increases the current.
