Question 1056616: Ohm’s law states that the amount of current that flows through a wire varies inversely as the
resistance. If a current of 9 amps flows through a wire with a resistance of 2 ohms, then what
current flows through a wire with a resistance of 3 ohms?

It will be less with more resistance
I=k/R where I is current and R resistance
find k first
9=k/2
k-18
use k in the second
I=18/3=6 amps, which is less.
