The current through a resistor is:
-
A.
proportional to the square of the resistance
-
B.
inversely proportional to the resistance
-
C.
proportional to the square root of the resistance
-
D.
directly proportional to the resistance
Correct Answer:
B. inversely proportional to the resistance
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option B: inversely proportional to the resistance.
According to Ohm's Law, the current flowing through a conductor is determined by the ratio of the voltage applied across it to its resistance (I = V/R). This relationship indicates that if the voltage remains constant, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance. Therefore, as the resistance in a circuit increases, the flow of current decreases, and conversely, a reduction in resistance allows more current to flow. This makes Option B the accurate description of how current relates to resistance.
