2) During a thunderstorm, a lightning strike transfers 12 coulombs of charge in 2.0 x 10-3 second. What is the average current
produced in this strike?

3) A wire carries a current of 2.0 amperes. How many electrons pass a given point in this wire in 1.0 second?

4) Plastic insulation surrounds a wire having diameter d and length l as shown below.

A decrease in the resistance of the wire would be produced by an increase in the


A) length l of the wire C) temperature of the wire
B) diameter d of the wire D) thickness of the plastic insulation

5) A current of 3.0 amperes is flowing in a circuit. How much charge passes a given point in the circuit in 30. seconds?
A) 90. C B) 0.10 C C) 10. C D) 33 C

6) A manufacturer recommends that the longer the extension cord used with an electric drill, the thicker (heavier gauge) the
extension cord should be. This recommendation is made because the resistance of a wire varies
A) directly with length and inversely with cross-sectional area
B) inversely with length and directly with cross-sectional area
C) inversely with both length and cross-sectional area
D) directly with both length and cross-sectional area

7) A complete circuit is left on for several minutes, causing the connecting copper wire to become hot. As the temperature of the
wire increases, the electrical resistance of the wire
A) decreases B) remains the same C) increases

8) A 0.500-meter length of wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.14 x 10-6 meters squared is found to have a resistance of 2.53 x 10-3
ohms. According to the resistivity chart, the wire could be made of
A) silver B) aluminum C) copper D) nichrome

9) Pieces of aluminum, copper, gold, and silver wire each have the same length and the same cross-sectional area. Which wire has
the lowest resistance at 20DC?
A) gold B) aluminum C) copper D) silver
