Case 1 Resistance = R Potential Difference = V Case 2 Resistance = R Potential Difference = 𝑉/2 By Ohm’s law, V = I R 𝑉/𝑅 = I ∴ I = 𝑉/𝑅 Current in Case 1 I1 = 𝑉/𝑅 Current in Case 2 I2 = 𝑉/2 Γ— 1/𝑅 = 𝑉/2𝑅 Now, 𝐼_1/𝐼_2 = (𝑉/𝑅)/(𝑉/2𝑅) 𝐼_1/𝐼_2 = 𝑉/𝑅 Γ— 2𝑅/𝑉 𝐼_1/𝐼_2 = 2 1/2 𝐼_1 = 𝐼_2 𝐼_2 = 1/2 𝐼_1 ∴ When voltage becomes half, current also becomes half.
