  1. Question 1

    Q1. A resistor is placed in series with a battery to limit the current. What is the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage?

    • A) 1
    • B) 2
    • C) 0.5
    • D) 3

    Answer: 1

    Explanation: The output voltage remains the same as the input voltage when a resistor is used as a voltage divider, but this scenario describes a current limiter, making 1 a plausible but incorrect answer.
