Expert Solution
Step 1

Current is said to flow in a closed circuit when a potential is applied across the ends of a resistor. A resistor is an electrical element that provides means of obstruction to the path of current. The phenomenon is called resistance. The relation between resistance, current and voltage is given by the equation V=I*R known as Ohm's Law.
