• True

• False

The resistance of an insulator is larger than that of a conductor.

• True

• False

When the resistance of a circuit is higher, the voltage is smaller.

• True

• False

(E) A thinner wire has a higher resistance.

• True

• False

• True

• False

(E) A nichrome wire always conducts electricity poorer than a copper wire.

• True

• False

The resistance of an insulator is zero.

• True

• False

Resistance has no effect on the voltage of a circuit.

• True

• False

(E) A longer wire has a higher resistance.

• True

• False

• True

• False
