The circuit below shows three resistors in series. R3 > R2 > R1. The resistors are all made of the same wire with the same diameter but have different lengths. Rank the magnitudes of the electric fields in the resistors from least to greatest.
 
   


   
  a.
  E3 < E2 < E1.
   
  b.
  E2 < E1 = E3.
   
  c.
  E1 = E2 = E3.
   
  d.
  E1 = E3 < E2.
   
  e.
  E1 < E2 < E3.

Question 2

  a.
  E3 < E2 < E1.
   
  b.
  E2 < E1 = E3.
   
  c.
  E1 = E2 = E3.
   
  d.
  E1 = E3 < E2.
   
  e.
  E1 < E2 < E3.

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.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

Serum cholesterol testing in adults is recommended every 1 to 5 years. People with diabetes and a family history of high cholesterol should be tested even more frequently.

Barbituric acid, the base material of barbiturates, was first synthesized in 1863 by Adolph von Bayer. His company later went on to synthesize aspirin for the first time, and Bayer aspirin is still a popular brand today.

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
