Which of the following statements about Ohm’s Law is true?

ATo increase the current, decrease the resistance.
BKeeping the same voltage and decreasing resistance decreases the current.
COhm’s law relates power, current and resistance.
DIncreasing the voltage decreases current if resistance stays the same.

One of the things that Ohm's law suggests is that the current in
a circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit. 

That's what choice-A says ... if the resistance decreases, then
the current will increase.

Answer:

To increase the current, decrease the resistance.  

Explanation:

Ohm's law relates the current, resistance and the voltage. This law states that "the potential difference or the voltage across the ends of any conductor is related directly to the current flowing through it". The mathematical relationship is given by :

V = I × R

Where

R = resistance of the circuit

\(I=\dfrac{V}{R}\)

The current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. Hence, the correct statement about the Ohm's law is (a) " To increase the current, decrease the resistance".
