Compared to the amount of electric current in the filament of a lamp, the amount of current in the connecting wire is:

The same.

Disconnect a small-voltage battery from a coil of many loops of wire and a large voltage is produced by:

The sudden collapse in the magnetic field.

If a magnet is pushed into a coil, voltage is induced across the coil. If the same magnet is pushed into a coil with twice the number of loops:

Twice as much voltage is induced.

The power dissipated in a 4-ohm resistor carrying 3 A is:

36 W.

A certain transformer doubles input voltage. If the primary coil has 10 A of current, then the current in the secondary coil is
