  1. Question 1

    Q1. Why does a choke coil reduce AC current more effectively than a resistor?

    • A) Inductor stores energy magnetically
    • B) Resistor dissipates energy as heat
    • C) Inductor opposes AC changes
    • D) Resistor creates higher voltage drop

    Answer: Inductor opposes AC changes

    Explanation: Inductor's inductive reactance blocks AC without energy loss. Resistor wastes energy as heat (option B).
