A resistor of unknown resistance and a 15-W resistor are connected across a 20-V emf in such a way that a 2.0 A current is observed in the emf. What is the value of the unknown resistance?
 a. 75 W
  b. 12 W
  c. 7.5 W
  d. 30 W
  e. 5.0 W

Question 2

When a 20-V emf is placed across two resistors in series, a current of 2.0 A is present in each of the resistors. When the same emf is placed across the same two resistors in parallel, the current through the emf is 10 A. What is the magnitude of the greater of the two resistances?
 a. 7.2 W
  b. 7.6 W
  c. 6.9 W
  d. 8.0 W
  e. 2.8 W

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
