Explanation:

Question 11

In an electric start system, a solenoid is used to carry high - current from the battery to the starter. A condenser (or capacitor, as they are related in some contexts) is used for storing electrical energy or smoothing voltage, not for carrying high current in this context. A magneto is a device that generates electricity, not for carrying current from the battery to the starter.

In a series circuit, the total resistance $R_{total}=R_1 + R_2+\cdots+R_n$. According to Ohm's law $I = \frac{V}{R}$, where $V$ is the voltage and $R$ is the resistance. When we add a resistor, the total resistance increases. Since the voltage (assuming a constant voltage source) remains the same, an increase in resistance will lead to a decrease in current flow. So the statement is false.

Answer:

C. Solenoid
