Question 14

A student connects each of three conducting strips on its own directly across a 3.0 V supply and measures the current through it. The results are shown in the table.

Conducting stripCurrent in A
A0.30
B0.20
C0.10

Which statement is correct?

[1]
A

Strip A has the greatest resistance because the most charge flows through it each second

B

The greatest resistance cannot be found without knowing the length of each strip

C

Strip C has the greatest potential difference across it because it carries the smallest current

D

Strip C has the greatest resistance because it carries the smallest current
