When Voltage Decreases Current Increases?

According to Ohm's Law, Current Increases when Voltage increases (I=V/R), but Current decreases when Voltage increases according to (P = VI) formula.

What happens to current when voltage decreases?

Voltage, Current and Resistance Summary

The relationship between Voltage, Current and Resistance forms the basis of Ohm's law. In a linear circuit of fixed resistance, if we increase the voltage, the current goes up, and similarly, if we decrease the voltage, the current goes down.

Why does current decrease when voltage increases?

The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. This means that increasing the voltage will cause the current to increase, while increasing the resistance will cause the current to decrease.
