Question

Which of the following would be considered a load in a circuit?(4 points)

lightbulb

switch

battery

wire
What happens to the current flowing through a circuit as resistance increases?(4 points)

It stays the same

It decreases

It increases

It reverses direction

Answer 1

1) Load in a circuit: lightbulb — it consumes electrical energy. (Switch = control, battery = source, wire = conductor.)

2) As resistance increases: It decreases — current is inversely proportional to resistance (I = V/R for a given voltage).
