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

The problem is not clear because not tell if the load is variable.

40mA -> 18V
Then 20mA -> (?)

20*18/40 = 9V

V1/I1=V2/I2
V2=(V1*I2)/I1
V2=(18*20)/40=9V

40mA - 18V
then 20mA - (?)

20*18/40 = 9V

If current increase voltage decreases.

Voltage change 18 - 9 = 9 volt.
