We know that Ohm Law is V = IR PROBLEM - Suppose I take a conducting Rod and let us say that it's one end is A and other is B. Suppose I give a potential difference at A of quantity V and initally my rod resistance is R when the length of rod is L. What will happen to V and I if I increase the resistance of rod by increasing or decreasing length? To balance the equation V = I R who will change the value V or I. MY APPROACH--- What I think is that V can't change since it is a constantly given by source (assumed) so I think value of I will decrease. This question is borned out of my mind so I also do not know '​​​​​​'Is questions I have uploaded is meaningless?' Help me in finding correct answer. In my problem there is no image because I don't think it is necessary and I have assumed a constant temperature.
