A circuit is wired with a power supply, a resistor and an ammeter (for measuring current). The ammeter reads a current of 30 mA (milliAmps). Determine the new current if the voltage of the power supply was .. increased by a factor of 2 and the resistance was held constant

a. I sub new = 48 mA (Current is directly proportional to voltage; a doubling of the voltage will double the current.)
b. I sub new = 72 mA (Current is directly proportional to voltage; a tripling of the voltage will triple the current.)
c. I sub new = 12 mA (Current is directly proportional to voltage; a halving of the voltage will halve the current.)
d. I sub new = 12 mA (Current is inversely proportional to resistance; a doubling of the resistance will halve the current.)
e. I sub new = 6 mA (Current is inversely proportional to resistance; a quadrupling of the resistance will reduce the current to one-fourth its original value.)
f. I sub new = 48 mA (Current is inversely proportional to resistance; a halving of the resistance will double the current.)
g. I sub new = 24 mA (Current is directly proportional to voltage; a doubling of the voltage will double the current. But current is also inversely proportional to the resistance; a doubling of the resistance will halve the current. These two factors offset each other and there is no overall change in the current.)
h. I sub new = 144 mA (Current is directly proportional to voltage; a tripling of the voltage will triple the current. But current is also inversely proportional to the resistance; a halving of the resistance will double the current. So the new current can be found by tripling and then doubling the old current of 24 mA.)
i. I sub new = 6 mA (Current is directly proportional to voltage; a halving of the voltage will halve the current. But current is also inversely proportional to the resistance; a doubling of the resistance will halve the current. So the new current can be found by halving and then halving again the old current of 24 mA.)

The period of a pendulum varies directly as the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely as the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. find the period when the length is 144 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared, if the period is 7pi seconds when the length is 289 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared.
