Question 6 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

A circuit has a current of 1.2 A. If the voltage decreases to one-third of its original amount while the resistance remains constant, what will be the resulting current?

Answer
A
0.3 A
B
0.4 A
C
1.2 A
D
3.6 A

Explanation

By Ohm’s law, current equals voltage divided by resistance. Since the resistance stays constant, reducing the voltage to one-third also reduces the current to one-third: 1.2 A ÷ 3 = 0.4 A. The resulting current is 0.4 A, choice B.
