To explain: Two ways to increase the current in a simple circuit.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Current is given by,
Since current is calculated using voltage difference and resistance, it can be said that the current in a circuit depends upon the voltage difference and resistance. The value of a fraction increases on increasing the numerator or decreasing the denominator. Therefore, two ways in which current in a circuit can be increased are:
- Voltage difference is increased.
- Resistance is decreased.
Conclusion:
The relation between current, voltage difference and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm’s Law.
