Question

The ___________ is an electrical component that opposes the flow of current in a circuit.

Answer 1

1. Electricity is the movement of charges through a body.
2. The flow of electric charge is called the electric current.
3. The flow of electric current is possible only when electrons travel along a closed path called an electric circuit.
4. The component of an electric circuit that opposes the flow of charges in the circuit is called a resistor.

Thus, the resistor is an electrical component that opposes the flow of current in a circuit.
