Question 14 • TX-Physics CR

For a constant resistance, how is the voltage related to the current?

Answer
A
Voltage is inversely proportional to current, so when the voltage doubles, the current is cut in half.
B
Voltage is directly proportional to current, so when the voltage doubles, the current is cut in half.
C
Voltage is inversely proportional to current, so when the voltage doubles, the current doubles.
D
Voltage is directly proportional to current, so when the voltage doubles, the current doubles.

Explanation

Ohm’s law is V = IR. With resistance held constant, voltage and current are directly proportional: increasing the voltage by a factor of 2 also increases the current by a factor of 2. Therefore, the correct choice is “Voltage is directly proportional to current, so when the voltage doubles, the current doubles.”
