Read the given passage and answer the question No.26-30 that follows
based on the passage:

Ohm’s Law:

Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points
is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points at constant
temperature for a given material.

Ohm’s law formula is written as; V ∝ I

Therefore, V = RI where R is a constant called resistance. R depends on the

dimensions of the conductor and also on the material of the conductor. Its
SI unit is Ohm (Ω).

circuit
b) A voltmeter is a low resistance instrument and is connected in series
circuit
c) A voltmeter is a high resistance instrument and is connected in parallel
circuit
d) A voltmeter is a low resistance instrument and is connected in series
circuit

electric current is known as:
a) Resistance b) Conductance
c) Inductance d) Capacitance

change?
a) Resistance will remain unchanged
b) Resistance increase
c) Resistance will decrease
d) Resistance will decrease 4 times
29. The potential difference applied is directly proportional to current only
if
a) Always b) Never
c) Sometimes d) when temperature is constant
