Voltage dependent resistors are used_____________?
Correct answer: B. to supress surges
- A. for inductive circuits
- B. to supress surges
- C. as heating elements
- D. as current stabilizers
Explanation
A voltage-dependent resistor, or varistor, sharply reduces its resistance when the voltage becomes excessive. This diverts transient energy and protects circuits from voltage surges.
