Answer 3

B?

Answer 4

Nah.

An ammeter measures current. Since all voltage is the same, the higher the resistance, the greater the current.

A parallel circuit with two 5 ohm resistors will have a total resistance of 2.5, it actually gets smaller..

Answer 5

thnx

Answer 6

Did you get A or C?

Answer 7

C

Answer 8

yep

Answer 9

its actually b

Answer 10

Really? That's weird, I must be missing something. I don't see it, though.

Answer 11

Oh..crud I see it now. I looked at the formula wrong..

v=IR

the smaller the resistance, the greater the current.

my bad.

Answer 12

its fine:)
