Current and Resistance

1. In a particular television tube, the beam current is 60.0 pa(the "p" is the closest I could get to making it look like the actual symbol, its like a p but doesn't have a top, its more like a u). How long does it take for 3.75 x 10^14 electrons to strike the screen? 2. A stereo with a resistance of 65 (the symbol loo ...continues

resistance

1. An ammeter registers 2.5 A of current in a wire that is connected to a 9.0 V battery. What is the wire's resistance? 2. A small electronic device is rated at 0.25 W when connected to 120 V. What is the resistance of this device? Please include the answers, formulas used and work done. Thank you!

answer in degrees

A person stands 3.4 m in front of a wall that is covered floor-to-ceiling with a plane mirror. His eyes are 2.0 m above the floor. He holds a flashlight between his feet and manages to point it at the mirror. At what angle of incidence must the light strike the mirror so the light will reach his eyes?
