Circuit Analysis Quiz 1 (modified)

Point added for a correct answer:
Points for an incorrect answer:
Ignore the questions' coefficients:

1 3 amps flow through a 1 ohm resistor. What is the voltage?

	$3V$
	$1V$
	${\frac {1}{3}}V$
	None these are correct.

2 Why do we say the "voltage across" or "the voltage with respect to?" Why can't we just say voltage?

	It's an electrical cliche.
	The other point could be negative or positive.
