If the potential difference across an ohmic conductor is doubled while temperature remains constant, the current through it will
Abecome half
Bremain unchanged
Cdouble
Dbecome four times
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. double
For an ohmic conductor at constant temperature, $I \propto V$. Therefore, doubling the potential difference doubles the current, provided the resistance stays constant.
