Answer:
An <u>applied force</u> is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.
A <u>friction force</u> is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an object can be calculated using the formula below:

Answer:
1. The current will drop to half of its original value.
Explanation:
The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law:
where
V is the voltage across the circuit
R is the resistance of the circuit
I is the current
We can rewrite it as
In this problem, we have:
- the resistance of the circuit remains the same: R' = R
- the voltage is decreased to half of its original value:
So, the new current will be
so, the current will drop to half of its original value.
