    Ohm's law: V=RI

    By changing I you will have V adjust to keep R constant.

    If I goes up, so will V, because it's a direct relation.

    Try it with 100 ohm. You can have

    100=R=V / I=500 volt / 5 amps

    100=R=V / I=700 volt / 7 amps

    The voltage and current scale directly with each other, so the voltage will increase.

    The voltage will get higher because it is not being resisted and the current is getting faster, producing more energy?

    The voltage increases.

    U = I * R (Ohm Formula).
