To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 38R
Option C
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Resistors are electric components which resist the electrons flow in a conductor. When electrons flow through a resistor, some energy is transferred to the resistor.
Resistance of a resistor is defined as the material’s tendency to resist the electron’s flow and convert electrical energy into other forms like heat thereby reducing the current in the circuit. Hence, with increase in resistance to the flow of electrons, the current decreases.
Conclusion:
Thus, option C is correct.
