Chapter 34, Problem 53A

What is the effect on current if both the voltage and the resistance are doubled? If both are halved?

To determine

To explain: The effect on current if the voltage and resistance is doubled.

Explanation of Solution

From the Ohm’s, the current flow through the circuit.

  $I_1=\frac{V}{R}$

Once the voltage aand resistance is doubled the current flow through the circuit.

  $I_2=\frac{2V}{2R}=\frac{V}{R}$

Therefore, the current flow shows no change after the voltage and resistance is doubled.
