Question
Let the resistance of an electrical component remain constant while the protential difference across the two ends of the component decreases to half of its former value. What change will occur in the current through it?
✓
Answer
According to Ohm's law, $I=\frac{V}{R}$
Here, as $R=$ constant, $I \propto V$.
So, when the potential difference across the two ends of the electrical component decreases to half of its former value, the current through it will also decreases to half of its former value.
