1

Increases heat production

2

Decreases heat production

3

Has no effect

4

Only affects light output

Answer and Solution

Answer

A. Increases heat production

Solution:

According to Joule's law, as resistance increases in a circuit with constant current, the heat produced increases, since H is proportional to R when other factors are constant.
