  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 14-year-old student is building an AC circuit with a variable resistor. She notices that the current flowing through the circuit increases as the resistance decreases. What is the likely relationship between resistance and current in this scenario?

    • A) Inversely proportional
    • B) Directly proportional
    • C) Exponentially related
    • D) Cyclical relationship

    Answer: Directly proportional

    Explanation: When resistance decreases, current increases, indicating a directly proportional relationship.
