What is the effect of increasing the resistance in an AC circuit on the overall current?
Correct Answer: Overall current decreases.
- Step 1: Understand that an AC circuit is a circuit where the current changes direction periodically.
- Step 2: Know that resistance is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.
- Step 3: Remember Ohm's Law, which states that Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R).
- Step 4: If you increase the resistance (R) in the formula, the current (I) will decrease if the voltage (V) stays the same.
- Step 5: Therefore, increasing the resistance in an AC circuit leads to a decrease in the overall current.
