Question

Which best explains why an electric toaster is considered a resistor?

It increases the flow of electrons.
It acts as a conductor.
It converts electric energy to another form of energy.
It produces an increase in voltage within the current.

Answer 1

"It converts electric energy to another form of energy."

A toaster's heating element has resistance, so electrical energy is dissipated as heat (and some light). It does not increase electron flow, act merely as a plain conductor, or raise voltage.
