How many kinds of resistor are used in circuits?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a 2
  2. b 3
  3. c 4
  4. d 5
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a 2

The book has two kinds of resistor: the fixed resistance and the variable resistance (rheostat).

Why the other options are wrong

  • b 3: Not three kinds; a rheostat has three terminals, but the kinds of resistor are two.
  • c 4: Not four kinds; the book has only the fixed and the variable resistance.
  • d 5: Not five kinds; the book describes resistors as of two types, fixed and variable.
