According to Ohm's Law, what happens if voltage to a heater element is increased by 10%?

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor. The formula is represented as I = V/R.

When the voltage to a heater element is increased by 10%, if the resistance remains constant, the current will also increase. Specifically, an increase in voltage results in a proportional increase in current. Therefore, a 10% increase in voltage will cause the current to increase by approximately the same percentage, assuming the resistance does not change.

This relationship is crucial in understanding how electrical devices, such as heaters, respond to changes in voltage, emphasizing the direct correlation between voltage and current as described by Ohm’s Law.
