Q8 of 330 Page 18

Keeping the potential difference constant, the resistance of a circuit is halved. By how much does the current change?

As we know that

V = IR


As current is directly proportional to potential difference and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor. If resistance of a circuit is halved than the current will doubled.
