Exercise:
The resistance of a variable resistor connected to a battery is increased from RaO to RbO. How do the electric current and the dissipated power change?

Solution:
For the current through R we have I fracDelta VR Changing the resitance to R' corresponds to fracI'I IfactF fracRaRb & approx resultIfactP The power can be calculated using P fracleftDelta Vright^R We find for the ratio fracP'P PfactF fracRaRb & approx resultIfactP Both the current and the power decrease by IdiffabsP.
