In a resistive-inductive circuit, the voltage drop across a resistor is found using quantities that pertain only to the ____ part of the circuit.
A) inductive
B) resistive
C) reactive
D) capacitive

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a resistive-inductive circuit, the voltage drop across a resistor is determined by the amount of current flowing through the resistor and the resistance value of the resistor. These are characteristics that pertain only to the resistive portion of the circuit, making choice B the correct answer. The inductive part of the circuit affects the overall behavior and characteristics of the circuit, but it does not directly contribute to the voltage drop across the resistor.
