The static charge of both pieces is the same, the static charge of both is positive, the static charge of both pieces is negative, static charge of 1 piece is positive, the other is negative | the static charge of one piece is positive the other piece is negative |
| What is the current in a circuit that has a voltage of 120 volts and a resistance of 2 ohms? 240 amp, 60 amps, 40 amps, 0 amps | 60 amps |
| What is the purpose of a transformer? change the voltage of alternating current, change the resistance of direct current, convert potential to kinetic energy. convert mechanical energy to electrical energy | change the voltage of alternating current |
