• Ampere

• Ohm

• Joule

What happens to the resistance of a superconductor when its temperature drops below the critical temperature?

• Resistance increases.

• Resistance doubles.

• Resistance drops to zero.

• Resistance is reduced by one half.

What happens to the overall resistance of a circuit when too many appliances are connected across a 120-V outlet?

• Resistance is increased.

• Resistance is decreased.

• Resistance remains the same.

• Resistance is zero.

When there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object, the object is

• positively charged.

• neutral.
