Ohm's Law

Question 2 • (AG Q4) Financial Literacy: 25-26 (JRush)

When the resistance in a circuit remains constant, how are the voltage and current related?

Answer
A
The current doubles when the voltage doubles because they are directly proportional.
B
The current doubles when the voltage doubles because they are inversely proportional.
C
The current is cut in half when the voltage doubles because they are directly proportional.
D
The current is cut in half when the voltage doubles because they are inversely proportional.

Explanation

Ohm’s law is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. If resistance stays constant, doubling the voltage doubles the current, so voltage and current are directly proportional. Therefore, the correct choice is “The current doubles when the voltage doubles because they are directly proportional.”
