Two components are connected in turn across the same 6 V supply. Component X has a larger resistance than component Y. Which statement is correct?

[1]
A

The current in X is smaller, because a larger resistance gives less current

B

The current in X is larger, because a larger resistance gives more current

C

The current in X and Y is the same, because the supply is the same one

D

The current in X is zero, because a large resistance stops charge flowing
