If current goes down in an electrical circuit and voltage remains the same what will happen to resistance?

v = i*R
If i goes down then R must go up (assuming v remains the same).

Completely impractical question. Resistance is not directly affected by voltage or current, so what you describe won't happen!

What increases when the resistance of an electrical circuit decreases?
Current increases if the voltage remains constant.
If the resistance decreases in a circuit when the voltage remains constant the current will?
Current will increase
If the resistance in a circuit is doubled while the voltage remains the constant the current is?
It is halved. coz voltage=current * resistance
If the voltage applied to a circuit remains constant and the resistance in the circuit is increased the current will?
V = IR Where, V = voltage I = current R = resistance Thus if resistance is increased with constant voltage current will decrease
Describe how a change in resistance would affect the current in a circuit?
As long as the voltage between the ends of the circuit remains constant, the current through the circuit is inversely proportional to the total effective resistance of the circuit.
When the resistance in an electrical circuit increases and the voltage does not change the current flowing in the circuit?
Here is the formula you use. I = E/R. I = amperage, E = volts, R = resistance in ohms.
Will doubling the resistance in a circuit halve the current if voltage is held constant?
If resistance is halved while voltage remains constant, the current will double.
What is happening if energy input remains constant and voltage remains the same in a circuit but the current decreases?
The resistance is decreasing
What happens to current flow if circuit resistance increases and voltage remains the same?
nothing
When current remains constant and resistance increases the voltage in the circuit will?
The physical equation governing voltage is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. If V remains constant while R is increased, I or current must decrease. Increasing the resistance in a circuit is simply introducing a material that further resists or impedes the electron flow (current), thus current decreases.
If you double both the voltage and the resistance in a circuit what would be the effect on the current?
If you double the voltage in a circuit, the power is quadrupled, assuming the resistance stays the same.
Does current effect the resistance in an electric series circuit?
The resistance remains constant. The voltage would change, in accordance with Ohms' law, with a change in current.
