Write a hypothesis about the effect of increasing resistance on the current in the circuit. Use the "if . . . then . . . because . . ." format and be sure to answer the lesson question: "How do changes in voltage or resistance affect current in an electric circuit?"

Explanation :

According to Ohm's law current in a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across two points.

Mathematically,

Where,

V is the applied voltage.

I is current flowing.

R is resistance.

If the voltage increases, the current will increase because the voltage is directly proportional to the current.

Similarly, if resistance increases current will decrease because the current is inversely proportional to resistance.
