When writing out the answer to a math question, what is all the information that should be shown? 

Describe the purpose: * to find the resistance

Write the equation: * v = R x I

Isolate the unknown: R = V/I

Substitute the values with units: 4V / 2A 

Calculate the results: 2R

State the conclusion: The resistance  is 2R

The voltage drop in a simple circuit  will always be equal all throughout. True or false?

True

300

What is a dependent variable?

The factor being tested in the experiment

the negative  side.

400

If you increase the voltage to 7 volts and the resistance is 4 ohms then what would the current be?

1.75 A

400

Should the current on a simple circuit  always be the same at all points?

Yep

400

What is an independent  variable?

The factor changed in an experiment

Why does the bulb light up?

Electrons from the current push/bump into the atoms of  the lightbulb. This causes them to transfer some of their energy to the atoms, resulting in the bulb lighting up.
