Technician A says electrical circuit resistance causes voltage drop. Technician B says high-resistance problems cause an increase in current flow. Who is correct?
A)A only
B)B only
C)both A and B
D)neither A nor B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because electrical circuit resistance does indeed cause voltage drop across the component or conductor where the resistance is present. Technician B is incorrect because high-resistance problems actually cause a decrease in current flow according to Ohm's Law (V=IR), where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.
