Let the resistance of an electrical component remain constant while the potential difference across the two ends of the component decreases to half its former value. What change will occur in the current through it ?

According to the Ohm.s law V = IR, If the resistance remains constant, V is directly proportional to I. V `alpha` l Now, if potential difference is reduced to half of its value, the current also becomes half of its original value.
