The current through a certain heater wire is found to be fairly independent of its temperature. If the current through the heater wire is doubled, the amount of energy delivered by the heater in a given time interval will(a) increase by a factor of two. (b) decrease by a factor of two. (c) increase by a factor of four.(d) decrease by a factor of four. (e) increase by a factor of eight.

(c) increase by a factor of four

Explanation:

energy = power x time, and power = resistance x current ^2. 2^2 = 4.

potential energy is directly proportional to height.

more height = more potential energy.

greatest increase in height = greatest increase in potential energy

where are the points with the greatest increase in height ?

has to be c-e or d-e .

the components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are to each other.

b perpendicular
