A scientist conducts two experiments in which he changes the current (I) and resistance (R), but keeps the voltage (V) a constant. I and R vary indirectly. If his first experiment has I = 10 and R=6, what is the resistance in his second experiment if he decreases the current to 4?

A)  0          B)            C)            D)  12          E)  15

This is an indirect variation, so the product of the variables will be constant.

\small V=IR

\small I_{1}R_{1}=I_{2}R_{2}

\small (10)(6)=(4)R_{2}

\small R_{2}=\frac{60}{4}=15
