A 3.  resistor is connected in parallel with a 6.  resistor. This pair is then connected in series with a 4.  resistor. These resistors are connected to a battery.
 
  What will happen if the 3.  resistor burns out, i.e., becomes an infinite resistance?
  A) The current in the 4.  resistor will drop to zero.
  B) The current in the 6.  resistor will increase.
  C) The current provided by the battery will not change.
  D) The power dissipated in the circuit will increase.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
