Question

_____ is a property that determines the amount of current for a given source voltage, whereas a _____ is a device that controls the current in a circuit.1) Resistance, resistor2) Resistance, battery3) Resistor, resistance4) Battery, resistance

Answer 1

The resistance is the property of the resistors that helps to determine the amount of current flowing through the circuit with the given volatge source by the ohm's law,

`I=(V)/(R)`

where I is the current, V is the volatge, R is the resistance,

On the other hand, to control the flow of current in the circuit, resistor are connected. As the resistor decrease the value of current depending upon the value of resistance of the resistor.

Hence, 1st option ( Resistance, resistor) is the correct answer.
