Question
As the resistance increases, the number of electrons passing through the circuit is affected. What is the effect on the current in the circuit?
- Current increases
- Current decreases
- Current remains same
- Cannot say
Hint:
Resistance is inversely proportional to the current.
The correct answer is: Current decreases
Resistance is the opposition faced by the flow of electric current in a circuit.
We know,
R = 
Consider the voltage of a circuit constant.
R 
Thus, resistance is inversely proportional to the current.
Hence, when the resistance of a circuit increases, the current flow will decrease.
