Question 12 • Physical Science

Which provides resistance in an electric circuit?

Answer
A
light bulb
B
switch
C
battery
D
wire

Explanation

A light bulb’s filament resists the flow of electric current, and that resistance causes it to heat up and produce light. A wire is designed to let current flow with little resistance, while a battery supplies electrical energy and a switch opens or closes the circuit. Therefore, the light bulb provides resistance.
