Why does a drop in resistance lead to a drop in voltage?
I get that resistance is due to collisions on the atomic scale where the electrons' kinetic energy is transferred to the metal lattice and that a lower resistance means a low voltage because less energy … So since $V=IR$, surely the voltage would remain the same because, yes the resistance is smaller but, the current is bigger? …
