Q4 of 52 Page 354

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

We know that by Ohm’s Law:



Now,




We know that:



Thus, from this we can conclude that if the resistance of the circuit is halved then the current gets doubled.
