A) The 75 W bulb has the same resistance as the 150 W bulb
B) The 75 W bulb has twice the resistance of the 150 W bulb
C) The 75 W bulb has 4 times the resistance of the 150 W bulb
D) The 75 W bulb has half of the resistance of the 150 W bulb
E) The 75 W bulb has one fourth of the resistance of the 150 W bulb
2. A copper wire of length L and cross sectional area A is used in an electrical application.

A) The resistance is the same since it is the same wire
B) The resistance is doubled
C) The resistance is quadrupled
D) The resistance is halved
E) The resistance is quartered
3. As resistors are added to series to a circuit, the current in the circuit ___
