Write a hypothesis about the effect of increasing voltage on the current in the circuit. Use the "if . . . then . . . because . . ." format and be sure to answer the lesson question: "How do changes in voltage or resistance affect current in an electric circuit?"

Respuesta :

Hypothesis: If the voltage increases, then the current increases because From Ohm's law,

[tex]I \propto V[/tex]

[tex]I=\frac{V}{R}[/tex]

Ohm's law states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. If the resistance is kept constant, then with the increase in voltage, the current increases. If the Voltage applied is constant, then with increase in resistance, the amount of current flowing decreases.

The hypothesis is, the increase in the voltage in a circuit increases the current flowing in the circuit.

According Ohm's law, the current flowing in a given circuit is directly proportional to the voltage across the circuit and inversely proportional to the resistance across the circuit.

V = IR

[tex]I = \frac{V}{R}[/tex]

where;

  • V is the voltage in the circuit
  • I is the current in the circuit
  • R is the resistance of the circuit

Thus, we can conclude that increasing the voltage in a circuit increases the current flowing in the circuit.
