Whether J is correct in stating that resistance will increase if the voltage increases.
Answer to Problem 21SSC
No, resistance is the property of the material and it doesn’t change with change in potential or current.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
From Ohm’s law, the expression of resistance is,
Here,
When the voltage increases, the current will increase since the resistance is a property of the material and it doesn’t change with respect to the current or applied voltage.
Conclusion:
Hence, J is incorrect in stating that if the applied voltage increases then the resistance will also increase.
