A simple circuit consists of a constant-voltage power supply and a variable resistor. What effect does reducing the resistance have on the current and on the power in the circuit? Increasing (decreasing) the resistance will double (half) the current and power. Increasing (decreasing) the resistance will leave the power and current unchanged. Increasing (decreasing) the resistance will increase (decrease) the current and power. Increasing (decreasing) the resistance will decrease (increase) the current and power.
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
