Question

How does adding a resistor to an electric circuit affect the current?

The resistor decreases the current by transforming electrical energy into different types of energy.
The resistor increases the current by transforming light energy or heat into electrical energy.
• ) The resistor increases the current by increasing the amount of electric charge.
•The resistor decreases the current by decreasing the amount of electric charge.

The correct answer is: The resistor decreases the current by decreasing the amount of electric charge.

When a resistor is added to an electric circuit, it creates resistance to the flow of electrons, resulting in a decrease in current. This is because the resistor converts some of the electrical energy passing through it into heat or other forms of energy, which reduces the overall flow of current in the circuit.
