In a circuit diagram, one component is drawn as a solid triangle whose tip touches a short straight line drawn across the wire. What does this symbol tell you about the current in that part of the circuit?

[1]
A

The current is in one direction only, opposite to the way the triangle points

B

The current increases in the way the triangle points and falls the other way

C

The current is the same in both directions but the resistance is different

D

The current is in one direction only, in the same way the triangle points
