Question 7 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

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
0.5 A
B
2 A
C
4 A
D
8 A

Explanation

By Ohm’s law, current equals voltage divided by resistance. With voltage unchanged, 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 D.
