Which characteristic applies exclusively to resistors?

Show Answers

They are capable of dissipating significant power.They function as devices that store energy.Their total resistance increases when connected in parallel.They resist abrupt variations in voltage.None of the above.

Explanation

Option A is correct because resistors convert electrical energy into heat, thereby dissipating power. Options B and D describe properties of capacitors and inductors, which store energy and oppose voltage changes, respectively. Option C is incorrect since connecting resistors in parallel actually decreases the total resistance.
