Keeping the potential difference constant, the resistance of a circuit is halved. By how much does the current change?

Answer

Given,

Potential difference = constant Also, we know that,

V = IR I = V/R

Given that V is constant, therefore, I will be proportional to 1/R. Therefore, when R is halved, I also becomes double.
