You are measuring the current in a circuit that is operated on an 18 V battery. The ammeter reads 40 mA. Later you notice the current has dropped to 20 mA. How much has the voltage changed?
9 V
900 mV
0 V
18 V
Answer: Option

V=IR.
R= V/I.

i.e V= 18V.
I= 40ma.

R=18/40= 0.45.

V =IR.
I = 20ma.
R =0.45.
V = 20x0.45 = 9V.

Vg is directly proportional to I.
Ohm's law applies.
V1/V2=I1/I2 substitute this formula....

Or you can say V is directly proportional to I. So when the current drops so as the voltage.

Here, the load is constant(R).

So,v/i=R=v'/i'.
18/40mA=v'/20mA.
Hence, v'=9volt.

V=IR(OHM'S LAW)
R=V/I
TAKE RATIO:V1/I1=V2/I2
V2=(V1*I2)/I1
V2=(18*20)/40
V2=9V.

v1=18 i1=40ma,i2=20ma,v2=?

R=18/40ma = 450.
V2 = i2 * r = 20m * 450 = 9a.

(V1/I1)=(V2/I2)
THEREFORE V2=(V1*I2)/I1
V2=(18*20*10^-3)/(40*10^-3)= 9V

The half of 40 is 20, and the half of 18 is 9. So the answer is A) 9v.

Circuit resistance remains constant and then follow as Nikul's answer.

V = IR.
V directly proportional to I.
So, Apply proportional rules.
