The electric current is the rate at which electric charges pass through a given area. In any movie, electric current is used, whether it is a light, television or even automobile engines. What is the formula to calculate electric current?
Current (I) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R)

Identify each part as - acceleration, deceleration, or traveling at a constant velocity.
A - acceleration
B - constant velocity
C - deceleration

What two factors affect the amount of potential energy in an object?
Height and mass

Which of Newton’s laws of motion states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force. This is also considered inertia, the tendency of a moving object to resist a change in speed or direction.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion

This Christmas tree produces a current of 2A through the bulbs when connected to a 140V outlet. What is the total resistance of the circuit?
What is 140V/2A=70ohms. The equation for voltage is V (voltage) =I (current) x R (resistance).
