Question

SHOW ALL WORK!

Compared to the magnitude of the charge on a proton, the magnitude of the electrical charge carried by an electron is? Why?

a. Exactly the same

b. About the same

c. Only 1/3 as large

If the potential at point A is one volt it means that? Why?

a. A charge at A has potential energy one joule for each coulomb of charge

b. An object at A has charge equal to one coulomb

c. There is a small battery present

A 12 ohm resistor and a 24 ohm resistor are connected in series with a 6.0 V battery. The correct statement is? Why?

a. The voltage difference between the ends of each resistor is the same.

b. The power dissipated in each resistor is the same.

c. The current in each resistor is the same

Explanation / Answer

1.a. Exactly the same (reason: either electron or proton carries equal charge = 1.609 * 10^-19 C)

2. b. An object at A has charge equal to one coulombe (reason: Voltage = Energy / Charge)

3.c. The current in each resistor is the same (as in parallel circuit, current is same across resistors)
