What electrical component opposes the flow of current in a DC circuit?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. Resistor
A resistor's whole job is to oppose, or resist, the flow of current. In a DC circuit, that opposition is called resistance and is measured in ohms. Inductors mainly oppose changes in current, not steady DC.
Tip: Resistor = resists current.
