If one decreases the resistance $R$ the current just increases as $I=V/R$. Unless the resistance is so small that is amounts to a short-circuit. The current becomes so huge that eventually the voltage does drop... and you start an electric fire... | |

| Dec 28, 2021 at 12:09 | comment | added | Swiss Gnome | True. Is it even possible to maintain constant current when increasing resistance since current is inversely proportional to resistance? | |
| Dec 28, 2021 at 12:05 | comment | added | MathGeek | @SwissGnome Why does it seem counterintuitive? It would be strange if current increases when resistance also increases. | |
| Dec 28, 2021 at 11:59 | comment | added | Swiss Gnome | Interesting....But doesn't this imply that as resistance increases so does voltage for constant current? That seems very counterintuitive | |
