Ohm's law is represented by the equation:

I = V/R

I = Current

V = Voltage

R = resistance

The equation for Ohm's law can be equated to find the current, resistance, and the voltage individually. Looking at the equation for the current, the current is simply equal to the voltage over the resistance. This means that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, therefore if the resistance of decreases, whereas the voltage stays the same, the current will increase. The same goes, if the current decreases and the voltage stays the same, therefore the resistance will increase.
