Question 8 • Physical Science

A circuit has a current of 2 A If the resistance in the circuit decreases to one-fourth of its original amount while the voltage remains constant, what will be the resulting current?

Answer
A
2 A
B
8 A
C
4 A
D
0 point 5 A

Explanation

By Ohm’s law, current equals voltage divided by resistance. With voltage constant, reducing the resistance to one-fourth makes the current four times as large: 2 A × 4 = 8 A. The resulting current is 8 A, choice C.
