Ohm’s law is obeyed since the current still increases when V increases 1) Ohm’s law is obeyed since the current still increases when V increases Ohm’s law is not obeyed 2) Ohm’s law is not obeyed This has nothing to do with Ohm’s law 3) This has nothing to do with Ohm’s law V = I R linear Ohm’s law, V = I R, states that the relationship between voltage and current is linear. Thus for a conductor that obeys Ohm’s Law, the current must double when you double the voltage. ConcepTest 18.1Ohm’s Law You double the voltage across a certain conductor and you observe the current increases three times. What can you conclude? Follow-up: Where could this situation occur?

area is less arearadiussquared diameter of A must be two times less than B The resistance of wire A is greater because its area is less than wire B. Since area is related to radius (or diameter) squared, the diameter of A must be two times less than B. ConcepTest 18.2Wires I Two wires, A and B, are made of the same metal and have equal length, but the resistance of wire A is four times the resistance of wire B. How do their diameters compare? d A = 4 d B 1) d A = 4 d B d A = 2 d B 2) d A = 2 d B d A = d B 3) d A = d B 4) d A = 1/2 d B 5) d A = 1/4 d B

increases the resistancedecreases the current The voltage is provided at 120 V from the outside. The light dimmer increases the resistance and therefore decreases the current that flows through the lightbulb. ConcepTest 18.3 Dimmer When you rotate the knob of a light dimmer, what is being changed in the electric circuit? 1) the power 2) the current 3) the voltage 4) both (1) and (2) 5) both (2) and (3) Follow-up: Why does the voltage not change?

P = V 2 / R lower power ratinghigher resistance Since P = V 2 / R the bulb with the lower power rating has to have the higher resistance. ConcepTest 18.4 Lightbulbs Two lightbulbs operate at 120 V, but one has a power rating of 25 W while the other has a power rating of 100 W. Which one has the greater resistance? 1) the 25 W bulb 2) the 100 W bulb 3) both have the same 4) this has nothing to do with resistance Follow-up: Which one carries the greater current?
