Physics-Ohm's Law

NEET Physics Ohm's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12

Which of the following statements about resistance and current in a circuit is correct?

A

Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it.

B

Resistance decreases as the temperature of a conductor increases.

C

In a closed circuit, the current will always be zero if the voltage is maintained.

D

The total resistance in a parallel circuit is always greater than the resistance of the smallest resistor in the circuit.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Ohm's Law indicates that the current (I) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across a conductor, provided the temperature remains constant. Option B is incorrect as resistance typically increases with temperature. Option C is false because current flows when there is a voltage. Option D is incorrect because in a parallel circuit, the total resistance is always less than the smallest resistance.
