What physical process is launched with the switching on of the toaster? Why does the current decrease from its initial value and reach another steady value? Choose the best answer from below. A. When switched on, heating element of the toaster acts as a parallel connection of a resistor and an inductor. This connection reacts to any change of the current with a delay. As the result, current initially increases to a greater value and then reaches the saturated value. B. When switched on, heating element of the toaster acts as a resistor and converts electrical energy into thermal. However, there are imperfections in the circuit that lead to a loss of energy. As the result, amount of the current that is transformed to thermal energy decreases. C. When…arrow_forward
