1.In the U.S., the electrical system runs on current that reverses 60 times per second which is referred to as ____________________ current.
2.Materials through which charge flows easily are called ____________________.
3. Tungsten is used in light bulb filaments because it glows when hot, rather than melting. The thin tungsten filament gets very hot in a circuit because it has high ____________________.
8. A miniature light bulb with a resistance of 3 ohms is connected to a 6-volt source. How much current will flow through the bulb?
9. In many homes, 75-watt light bulbs are common. If the bulb is connected to a 120-volt source, what is the resistance to the flow of charge in the bulb?
The label on a radio identifies the radio's power consumption to be 4.0 watts when operating at 120 volts. Use this information to answer the following questions:
10. The rate at which current flows through an appliance is often referred to as its "draw." How much current does this radio draw?
