Question 7 • *CHS TN-Physical Science

If voltage in a circuit is constant, the current can be cut to half of its original value by changing the resistance to ________ its original value.

Answer
A
one-fourth
B
one-half
C
two times
D
four times

Explanation

Ohm’s law states that current equals voltage divided by resistance: I = V/R. With voltage held constant, doubling the resistance makes the current half as large. Therefore, the resistance must be changed to two times its original value.
