MCQ
Carbon resistors are of two types:
  • A
    Composition type resistor and film type resistor.
  • B
    Rheostat and film type resistor.
  • C
    Rheostat and variable resistor.
  • D
    Composition type resistor and rheostat.

Answer

  1. Composition type resistor and film type resistor.

Explanation:

Carbon resistors are of two types  composition type resistor and film type resistor.

There are a number of different types of fixed resistor:

Carbon composition: These types were once very common, but are now seldom used.

Carbon film: This resistor type is formed by "cracking" a hydrocarbon onto a ceramic former.
