An increase of current, not resistance, results in an increase of load.

• A. Voltage
• B. Power
• C. Load
• D. Resistance

Answer: (C)

In circuits, the load is the device or component that consumes electrical energy. When current through the load increases (and the load’s resistance stays the same), the power the load dissipates goes up, because P = I^2R (or P = VI). So more current means more energy being drawn by the load, i.e., a larger load effect.

Voltage is the driving force that pushes current, but increasing current doesn’t by itself define the load. Resistance is a property of the load that limits current; changing current without changing resistance doesn’t define the load itself. Power is a related outcome that rises with current for a given resistance, but the statement is describing the load being larger, not merely the power or the voltage.
