If the potential difference across the ends of a conductor is halved, what happens to the current flowing through it?

If the potential difference across the ends of a conductor is halved, what happens to the current flowing through it? Correct Answer It gets halved

 ⇒ According to ohm's law, the Potential difference is directly proportional to the Current.

 ⇒ V œ I

 ⇒ V = IR ,where R is constant (Resistance)

⇒ V' =1/2 V then I' = 1/2 I

 ⇒ if the potential difference gets half then the current is also getting half.
