Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a circuit, if the voltage is halved and the resistance remains constant, what happens to the current?
  • Step 1: Understand Ohm's Law, which states that Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R).
  • Step 2: Identify that in this scenario, the voltage (V) is being halved.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the resistance (R) remains the same.
  • Step 4: Since the voltage is halved, you can express the new current as I' = (V/2) / R.
  • Step 5: Simplify the equation: I' = (1/2) * (V / R).
  • Step 6: Notice that (V / R) is the original current (I), so I' = (1/2) * I.
  • Step 7: Conclude that if the voltage is halved and resistance is constant, the current also halves.
