This diagram shows two energy levels in an atom. The lower level is "full" because it already has an electron with spin up and another with spin down. Therefore, a third electron must go into the higher energy level. What law or principle explains why?

A) the exclusion principle B) the uncertainty principle C) the law of conservation of angular momentum D) the law of conservation of energy

A resistor is made out of a long wire having a length L. Each end of the wire is attached to a terminal of a battery providing a constant voltage V0. A current I flows through the wire

If the wire were cut in half, making two wires of length L/2, and both wires were attached to the battery (the end of both wires attached to one terminal, and the other ends attached to the other terminal), what would be the total current flowing through the two wires? A) 4I B) 2I C) I D) I/2 E) I/4
