  1. Question 1

    Q1. Why does a series resistor with an inductor in AC circuits reduce current?

    • A) Resistor dissipates wasted energy
    • B) Limits di/dt of inductor
    • C) Resistor cancels inductive reactance
    • D) Reduces magnetic field strength

    Answer: Resistor dissipates wasted energy

    Explanation: Resistor converts excess energy to heat. Option C confuses impedance with reactance cancellation.
