Question

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the _____________ of the electric field.

A) Voltage
B) Electric current
C) Resistance
D) Interference

Answer 1

According to the statement of OHM's Law,

The current in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the voltage across that circuit. This means, larger the voltage , more will be the current flow. Mathematically this can be stated as:

I = V/R

Here 1/R is the constant of proportionality and R represents the Resistance of the circuit.

This equation is also stated in texts as:

V = IR

So, the correct answer is option A. Voltage
