🔍 Key Concepts

• Ohm’s Law and the relationship between voltage (E), current (I), and resistance (R) • How current changes when resistance changes but voltage stays the same • The idea of directly versus inversely proportional relationships in circuits

💭 Think About

• Write Ohm’s Law using symbols and solve it for current (I). What does that formula say about how I depends on R when voltage is constant? • Imagine a simple example with numbers: pick an original resistance and voltage, calculate the original current, then cut the resistance in half and calculate the new current. How do the two currents compare? • Look at the answer choices and decide which one matches the change you found when resistance is reduced while voltage is unchanged.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you’re treating resistance and current as inversely proportional or directly proportional according to the formula you wrote for I. • Double-check that when resistance becomes one half, you’re applying that factor correctly to the current (do not confuse 1/2 with 2x). • Confirm you kept voltage constant in your example calculations; only resistance should change between the two situations.
