What is the resistance in ohms of the computer-monitor combination when a desktop computer and monitor together draw about 1.2 A of current and they plug into a wall outlet that is 120 V

60

An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 16 ohms It draws 15 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into

240

Do electric and magnetic fields always form closed loops

Magnetic fields do, because there's no such thing as an isolated magnetic "pole",

and a magnetic line always starts and ends at opposite poles of the same

magnetized object.

But electric fields don't. You can easily have a bundle of isolated positive charge

over here and a bundle of isolated negative charge over there, whereupon the

lines of the electric field start on one bundle and end on the other bundle.

But electric field lines can also exist in closed loops, and they do that in radio waves, where the electromagnetic field propagates with an electric field component and a magnetic field component, and they both form closed loops.

In terms of the scientific definition of work neither magnetic fields nor electric fields can do work

True

A material that prevents electrons from flowing freely is called what

an insulator

In a parallel circuit the is the same for every leg in the circuit

voltage

A portable electric heater has a resistance of 20 ohms It plugs into a wall outlet that is 120 V How much current in amps does it draw

A voltage source of 120 V will supply a current of 6 Ainto a load of 20 ohms.

Ohm's law: Voltage equals current times resistance.

The alternate question, 10 ohm heater running on 120 V, was split from this question because it was not the same question.

Are accidental discoveries are good as non-accidental ones

Most great discoveries started out as accidental. The discoverer usually wondered why something happened and began investigating and experimenting to learn about it.

In a closed circuit what does an increase in voltage cause

an increase in current, hence increased power and increased heat.

What type of fields are created by an arrangement of electric charges or a current

Magnetic fields can be created by charges or the flow of current.

Is an atom that has the same number of protons as neutrons a neutral atom

False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.

Where would shock from an electrified fence be the least unpleasant if standing A barefoot on wet grass during rain B on a rubber mat or very dry ground C on a metal ladder against the fence

You would need to be standing on some kind of electrical insulator, such as a rubber mat, or on very dry ground.

Which of the following would be best to do of you were inside a car and a power line fell on the car
