How does a light bulb function as a resistor?
Responses
It functions as a closed loop in which energy passes from one end to the other, producing light along the way.
It blocks or decreases the electric current, changing the energy into the light it produces.
It passes the electric current through it, changing the energy into light.
It amplifies or increases the electric current, changing the energy into the light it emits.
