In a circuit the coil of a choke:

In a circuit the coil of a choke:

  • A. Decreases the current
  • B. Increases the current
  • C. Has high resistance to D. C. circuit
  • D. No effect with the current

Step-by-step solution

A choke coil is an inductor that introduces inductive reactance in an AC circuit, which opposes changes in current. This impedance reduces the current flow. For DC, the coil has low resistance and doesn't significantly affect steady current, but the primary function in a circuit is to decrease AC current.
