Halved means;

Divide into two parts of equal or roughly equal size.

R = 2.
V = 1.
I = V/R.

So I = 1/2.

V=IR.
I=V/R or R=V/I.

As we see current is inversely proportional to resistance so value of current remain half if value of resistance I double.

We know Ohm's law V=IR.
If R is doubled then.
V = I(2R).

then,
I= V/2R.

I=(1/2)(V/R).

Hence Current Halved.

Case 1:
V=IxR
case 2:
V=I'x2R

Since Voltage source in both circuit is same

IxR=I'x2R

so I'=I/2

Current is halfed in second case

For example we can take a circuit given below.



In this series total resistance value is 3+3+3=9 ohm's. supose in that circuit voltage is 9v.

Given data R=9 ohm's
V=9v,

Simlarly R=2R (given conditions),
so 2*9=18 ohms
V=IR
I=V/R
I=9/18
1/2

That is halved.

By Ohm's Law Voltage(V) is directly praprotional to Current(C), and by Ohm's R is a praprotionality Constant, So In a series circuit voltage is constant(we can say V = 1),than By eq.
V = IR
1 = IR (V=1)
I = 1/R
If R = 2 Then I = ?
I = 1/2
that is Halfed
