what is the effect on an electric current when the voltage is increased? an increase in voltage causes the…

Answer:

B. increase

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Ohm's Law

$V = IR$ (where $V$ is voltage, $I$ is current, and $R$ is resistance).

Step2: Rearrange for current

$I=\frac{V}{R}$.

Step3: Analyze the relationship

When resistance $R$ is constant, if $V$ increases, $I$ increases as $I$ is directly proportional to $V$.
