Question 1

Which of these variable resistors would most likely be used to control current using only two of its terminals?


◦

rheostat


◦

trimmer potentiometer


◦

nonlinear potentiometer


◦

linear potentiometer



Question 2

Why does running too many appliances on one circuit cause a fuse to blow or a circuit breaker to trip off?


◦

As more resistors are added in parallel, the total resistance decreases, which causes an increase in the total amount of current.


◦

As more resistors are added in parallel, the total resistance decreases, which causes an increase in the total amount of voltage.


◦

The current drops to almost zero.


◦

The voltage becomes too much for the circuit to handle

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.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
