Ohm's Law — Quiz

Question 17 • Physical Science

Which statement describes the relationship of resistance and current?

Answer
A
Resistance is inversely proportional to current because cap r is equal to cap v over cap i .
B
Resistance is directly proportional to current because cap r is equal to cap v cap i .
C
Resistance is inversely proportional to current because cap r is equal to cap v cap i .
D
Resistance is directly proportional to current because cap r is equal to cap v over cap i .

Explanation

Ohm’s law gives resistance as voltage divided by current: R = V/I. If the voltage stays constant, increasing the current makes the resistance calculated by this relationship smaller, so resistance is inversely proportional to current. Choice C states this relationship.
