Which statement best explains the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance? If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, this will result in a decrease in current. If we decrease the current applied, and do not change the resistance, we increase the voltage. If we increase the amount of voltage applied, and do not change the resistance, we will also increase the current. If we decrease the amount of current, this will not affect the amount of voltage, only the amount of resistance.

Iyana Schultz · Answer 1

The values of current, voltage, and resistance are correlated by the equation known as Ohm's law which can be expressed as,

V = I x R

where V, I, and R are voltage, current and resistance, respectively. Thus, voltage has a direct variation relationship to both I and R. The answer to the question above is the third statement.
