Resistance is decreases then the voltage drop across it is decreases because of ohms law (V=IR),due to this power can also be decreases because of P=VI. so finally we can say that resistance decreases ,power also decreases.

Why does power decrease when resistance increases?

First, this statement stands as long as voltage is constant. If you held the current constant then power would increase as resistance increases.V=IR. For a fixed voltage if you increase the resistance (R) then the current (I) will decrease - following the formula.Power = VI so as the resistance increases the value of VI (power) decreases as V is constant and I gets smaller.Therefore the power is decreasing as the resistance increases (when voltage is held constant).Hope this helps.


If a carbon resistor increases in temperature its resistance will?

This depends on the type of conductor. If the conductor has a positive coefficient the resistance will increase. If the conductor has a negative temperature coefficient the resistance will decrease.
