3. Concept Question
Two “resistors” are connected to the same 120 V circuit, but consume different amounts of power. Which one has the larger resistance, and how much larger?
A) The 50 W has twice the resistance
B) The 50 W has four times the resistance
C) The 100 W has twice the resistance
D) The 100 W has four times the resistance
P = 100 W
P = 50 W

The potential difference is the same across them both
The lower resistance one has more power
The one with twice the power has half the resistance

4. Concept Question 12 V Kirchoff’s Second Law: I1
First, pick a direction for every loop
I always pick clockwise
Start anywhere, and set 0 equal to sum of potential change from each piece:
For batteries: V = E
It is an increase if you go from – to +
It is a decrease if you go from + to –
For resistors: V = IR
It is a decrease if you go with the current
It is an increase if you go against the current
Kirchoff’s Second Law:
The total voltage change around a loop is always zero I1 + –
3  I2 + –
5 
6 V
4  I3
What is Kirchoff’s Second Law for the purple loop?
A) 0 = +5I2 – 6 – 4I3 B) 0 = +5I2 + 6 – 4I3 C) 0 = –5I2 – 6 – 4I3 D) 0 = –5I2 + 6 – 4I3

5. Which meter is installed incorrectly?
Concept Question
An ammeter is a device that measures the current (amps) anywhere in a circuit
To use it, you must route the current through it
A perfect ammeter should have zero resistance
A voltmeter is a device that measures the potential difference (volts) between any two points in a circuit
To use it, you can simply connect to any two points
A perfect voltmeter has infinite resistance A V
Which meter is installed incorrectly?
A) Left voltmeter B) Right voltmeter
C) Left ammeter D) Right ammeter
E) All are correct + – A V

7. Concept Question
Two particles with the same mass are moving in the same magnetic field, but particle X is circling in less time than particle Y. What can account for this?
A) Particle X is moving faster (only)
B) Particle Y is moving faster (only)
C) Particle X has more charge (only)
D) Particle Y has more charge (only)
E) A and C could both account for this B X Y
Moving faster doesn’t help
Higher speed means bigger radius
Higher charge does help
You turn corners faster
