Question
What will be the change in the current if the potential difference is kept constant and the resistance of the circuit is made four times?
- It will remain unchanged.
- It will become four times.
- It will become one-fourth.
- It will become half.
Solution
(c) It will become one-fourth.
According to Ohm’s law, the product of current and resistance should remain constant if the potential applied is the same. Hence, if resistance is made four times, then current should be one-fourth.

The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm's Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes E1 & E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills the tube 2.
