Question:

Which of the following statements are true?

(A) Rheostat can be used both as a variable resistance and a potential divider.
(B) An electrical circuit is functional only if all the components of the circuit are connected in proper order, assuming that all circuit components/ devices are in working condition and key is closed.
(C) An open circuit means a break in some part of a circuit which could be deliberate such as a key in open position or a fault such as broken wire or burnt out component(s) or loose connection.
(D) Rheostat as a potential divider gives variable resistance.
