Current, Resistance, and Voltage

The current in the wires of a circuit is 120.0 milliAmps. If the battery was replaced by one with double the voltage (with no other replacements), then its new current would be _____ milliAmps.

• 60 milliAmps

• 120 milliAmps

• 240 milliAmps

• No way to tell

The resistance of a light bulb is 30 ohms. If the current must double but the battery is remaining the same, the light bulb must be replaced by one with ____ ohms.

• 60 ohms

• 30 ohms (the light bulb resistance will not change)

• 15 ohms

• More information is needed

The resistance of the light bulb is 15 ohms. If the battery was replaced by one with double the voltage (with no other replacements), then the light bulb resistance must _____.
