Detailed Solution

According to Ohm's law, the potential difference across a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current flowing through it under constant temperature and the proportionality constant is nothing but the resistance offered by the circuit.

V = RI

Where V is the potential difference, R is the resistance and I is the current.

Therefore, Resistance R = VI

V = 80 V, I = 6 A

R = 806= 13.33 Ohms

The resistance of the circuit remains constant.

In the second instance, V = 135 V, R =13.33 Ω

Current I = VR

I = 13513.33= 10.12 A

Therefore, when the potential difference is adjusted to 135 V, 10.12 A current will flow through the circuit.
