Section III – Science1. Electricity is a general term encompassing a variety of phenomena resulting from thepresence and flow of electric charge. Which of the following statements about electricityis/are true?a. Electrically charged matter is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields.b. Electric current is a movement or flow of electrically charged particles.c. Electric potential is a fundamental interaction between the magnetic field and the presenceand motion of an electric charge.d. An influence produced by an electric charge on other charges in its vicinity is an electric field.2. Which of the following is/are not included in Ohm’s Law?a. Ohm’s Law defines the relationships between (P) power, (E) voltage, (I) current, and (R)resistance.b. One ohm is the resistance value through which one volt will maintain a current of oneampere.c. Using Ohm’s Law, voltage is determined using V = IR, with I equaling current and R equalingresistance.
