    What is the use of a variable resistor in Ohm's law experiment?
    (i) It changes the voltage across a fixed resistor.
    (ii) It changes the resistance across the fixed resistor.
    (iii) It changes the current flowing through the fixed resistor.

    A) Only (i) and (ii)

    B) Only (ii) and (iii)              

    C) Only (i) and (iii)               

    D) All the three                     

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The variable resistor is adjusted so that the voltage across the variable resistor and the fixed resistor will change. The total resistance in the circuit will change leading to a change in the current flowing through the fixed resistor.
