If Voltage is constant and Current (amps) increases then Resistor should be?
increased, decreased or the same...

i do not understand this at all..i don't understand the relationshop between them...could someone please help me? I am in my 4th yr at high school so please...no hard words!

look up Ohm's law. That is the relationship between voltage, current and resistance. Solve for R and use arrow analysis to see how resistance should change.

Resistance should be decreased. Voltage = Current*Resistance (Ohms Law)
