Which of the following statements pertains to resistors only _____________?
Correct answer: A. can dissipate considerable amount of power
- A. can dissipate considerable amount of power
- B. can act as energy storage devices
- C. connecting them in parallel in¬creases the total value
- D. oppose sudden changes in voltage
Explanation
A resistor converts electrical energy into heat and can therefore dissipate considerable power. Capacitors and inductors primarily store energy, and resistors oppose current rather than sudden changes in voltage.
