There is a current of 3.0A in a resistor for time t. During time t, a charge of 120C flows through the resistor.

What is time t ?

• 0.025 minutes

• 0.025 s

• 40 minutes

• 40 s

If the current through a circuit is 2 A and the resistance of a light bulb in the circuit is 10 Ohms, what is the voltage difference across the light bulb?

• 5 V
• 12 V
• 0.2 V
• 20 V

According to this law, the current in a circuit equals the voltage difference divided by the resistance. 

• Law of Conservation of Energy 
• Ohm's Law 
• Law of Conservation of Charges
• Newton's First Law 

If a positive charge is brought near a negative charge, the charges will

• repel each other

• attract each other

• explode

• create a rift in the space-time contiuum
