This question is about the potential difference (p.d.) across, and the current in, a variable resistor.
The resistance of the variable resistor is decreased.
Which statement is correct?
The current can remain constant if the p.d. is increased.
The current can remain constant if the p.d. is decreased.
The p.d. can remain constant if the current is decreased.
The p.d. can remain constant if the current is kept constant.
