PLZZZ HURRY
The voltage remains the same.
To understand what happens to the voltage when the resistance in a circuit is halved, we can refer to Ohm's Law, which states that the voltage (V) in a circuit is equal to the current (I) multiplied by the resistance (R) (V = IR).
In this case, if the resistance is halved (R/2), and we keep the current (I) the same, we can substitute these values into Ohm's Law:
V = I * (R/2)
Simplifying the equation, we have:
V = (I * R) / 2
Therefore, the voltage is halved when the resistance is halved, as indicated by the "The voltage is halved" option.
