Exam-style question
Try this first
Which of the following components can affect the output voltage in a potential divider circuit?.
- A.Only resistors
- B.Only capacitors
- C.Both resistors and capacitors
- D.Only inductors
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Only resistors
Explanation
Why this works
The correct answer is Only resistors. This is correct because it applies the Current electricity idea named in the question, using the required quantities and units rather than mixing current, charge, potential difference, resistance, power, or energy.
The other options are less suitable because they use the wrong electrical quantity, an incompatible unit, or a rule from a different circuit context.
