asked 03/03/20In the circuit seen here, the resistor has a resistance of 3 ohms. If no change in the battery size occurs, what will happen to the current if the resistance increases to 6 ohms?

Knowledge, experience and insight from decades of teaching physics.
Since only 1 resistor is mentioned, the only possibility is a series type circuit.
also V= IR. therefore current and resistance are inversely proportional.
as resistance doubles, the current will be halved in order to maintain voltage.
I hope this answers your question.
