Understanding +4 | -1

Statement-1: If a resistor is connected to a battery the current decreases when the temperature increases.
Statement-2: For most of the resistors, resistance increases with increase in temperature.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is the correct explanation for Statement-1

Option A is correct because the resistance of a resistor increases with temperature, leading to a decrease in current according to Ohm's law.
