The current in a 100-W bulb connected to a 120-V source is

0.833

The current through a 10 ohm resistor connected to a 120-V power supply is

12 A

Two charges separated by one meter exert a 1-N force on each other. If the charges are pushed to 0.25-m separation, the force on each charge will be

16 N

When a pair of 1 ohm resistors are connected in series, their combined resistance is

2 ohms, and when in parallel, 1/2 ohm.

A 4 ohm resistor is connected in parallel with a 6 ohm resistor. This combination produces an equivalent resistance of

2.4 ohms

The electric power of a lamp that carries 2 A at 120 V is

240 W

The electrical force on a 2-C charge is 60 N. What is the value of the electric field at the place where the charge is located?

30 N/C

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

36 W

When a 10-V battery is connected to a resistor, 2 A of current flow in the resistor. What is the resistor's value?

5 ohms

The electrical force between charges is strongest when the charges are

Close together

Which statement is correct? Select one: A.Current flows through a circuit B.Voltage flows through a circuit. C.Resistance is established across a circuit. D.Current causes voltage.

Current flows through a circuit.

The electric field inside an uncharged metal ball is zero. If the ball is negatively charged, the electric field inside the ball is then

Zero

Electrons are made to flow in a wire when there is

a potential difference across its ends

To say that electric charge is conserved is to say that electric charge

can neither be created nor destroyed.

An ampere is a unit of electrical

current

Every proton in the universe is surrounded by its own

electric field and gravitational field

In an electrically neutral atom the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of

electrons that surround the nucleus.

Heat a copper wire and its electric resistance

increases

Stretch a copper wire so that it is thinner and the resistance between its ends

increases

To say that an object is electrically polarized is to say

its charges have been rearranged.

When a light switch is turned on in a dc circuit, the average speed of electrons in the lamp is

less than 1 cm/s.

Charge carriers in a metal are electrons rather than protons because electrons are

loosely bound

The electrical forces between charges depends on the

magnitude of electric charges and separation distance between electric charges.

A positive ion has more

protons than electrons

A main difference between gravitational and electric forces is that electrical forces

repel or attract.

The source of electrons in an ordinary electrical circuit is

the electrical conductor itself

A woman experiences an electrical shock. The electrons making the shock come from the

woman's body
