A space heater typically uses  of power when plugged into a standard  wall electrical outlet.  How much current does the space heater draw?

 

A.

B.

C.

 

D.

 

 

Solve for current

 

 

So Correct answer is C !

16

In the circuit above what is the potential difference between point B and Point A?  This would be .

 

A.

B.

C.

 

D.

 

 

Since current goes from A to B, Point B is lower in potential, so  will be negative.

 

 

 

So Correct Answer is A !
