4 - $100
Resistance

is the ability to
control ___________

current

4 - $200
The

unit for resistance.

Ohms

4 - $300
This

reduces current flow and,

at the same time, acts to lower
voltage levels within circuits

resistor

4 - $400
Draw

a circuit that contains:

30 V battery
2 100 resistors.

*Teacher will check to make sure correct

symbols are being used for battery & resistors*

4 - $500

To DECREASE the resistance of a wire,

we would make it ( longer / shorter ) to

( increase / decrease ) its thickness.
Make

it shorter to increase its

thickness

5 - $100
The

symbol for current.

5 - $200
Correctly

draw the triangle that

represents Ohms Law.
V

5 - $300
Solve for I (using the correct unit, too).
Given 15 V & 100 .

=V/R
I = 15 V / 100
I = 0.15 amps

5 - $400
A

current of 0.4 amp flows through a

light bulb connected to a 100 V
supply. What is the resistance?

=V/I
R = 100 V / 0.4 amps
R = 250

5 - $500
A

current of 0.6 amps flows through a

light bulb with a resistance of 200 .
What is the voltage supply?

V=I*R
V = 0.6 amps * 200
V = 120 V
