  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 17-year-old student is analyzing the behavior of an RL circuit. She observes that the current flowing through the circuit is not directly proportional to the voltage. What is the likely reason for this phenomenon?

    • A) Resistance
    • B) Inductance
    • C) Capacitance
    • D) Circuits conservation of energy

    Answer: Inductance

    Explanation: In an RL circuit, current is affected by inductive reactance, making it non-linear with respect to voltage.
