Chapter 3, Problem 1TFQ
If the total resistance of a circuit increases, current decreases.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether the given statement is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1TFQ
True
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given statement is:
Current decreases with the increase in the total resistance of the circuit.
According to Ohm’s law, Current between any two points is directly proportional to the potential difference between two points. That is,
V = IR
Or,
I = V/R
It is clear from the above equation that current is inversely proportional to the value of resistance. Hence, if the total resistance of the circuit increases, the current flow through the circuit will decrease.
Therefore, the given statement is true.
