Which statement describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in Ohm's law?

Ohm’s law links voltage, current, and resistance with V = IR. This means current equals voltage divided by resistance, and voltage equals current times resistance. With resistance fixed, increasing the voltage pushes more current through, so current rises proportionally. That’s why increasing voltage with constant resistance is the correct description of the relationship. Keep in mind: if resistance increases while voltage stays the same, current would actually decrease. And voltage is not current divided by resistance; the correct form is V = IR, not V = I/R.
