A ____ is a device that provides a degree of resistance in an electronic circuit, and under certain conditions either allows current to pass through it freely or blocks the flow completely.
A) capacitor
B) semiconductor
C) inductor
D) coil
E) none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A semiconductor, such as a diode or transistor, can act as a switch in an electronic circuit, allowing current to flow in one direction but blocking it in another. They can provide resistance in a circuit and control the flow of current. Capacitors store electrical energy and release it over time, inductors store energy in a magnetic field, and coils are a type of inductor. None of these options fully match the characteristics described in the question.
