A circuit has two identical resistors, each with resistance R, connected in series. They add to give an equivalent resistance of 2R. If any internal resistance is negligible, which of the following would increase the current in the circuit the most?
  1.add another resistor, R, in series
  2.take away one of the resistors
  3.add another resistor, R, in parallel to those already in series
  4.It depends on whether the resistance is greater or less than 1 .

Question 2

As more resistors are added in series, the equivalent resistance of the circuit approaches infinity. In contrast, as more resistors are added in parallel, the equivalent resistance
  1. approaches infinity.
  2. approaches zero.
  3. becomes zero.
  4. approaches 1 .

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
