Your voltmeter and your teacher are both right, but the water analogy of electricity can only go so far. One big drawback is that, unlike with water, there is no absolute voltage. .... Wherever you put the black lead is defined as "0V". .... flowing (i.e. the circuit is broken) you will not get this change in voltage.

Answer: Between the last component of the circuit and the source.

Explanation:  In a closed circuit, the Kirchofs law says that:

∑vₙ = 0

This means that the summationof all the voltages is equal to zero, wherein the source or fountain, the voltage is positive, and in each component of the circuit (resistances, capacitors, etc) the voltage is negative.

Suppose you have a source that produces a voltage V and two resistances, this law says that the voltage V will vanish completely after passing by the two resistances.

This means that in the segment between the last component of the circuit and the source the voltage must be equal to zero, and that is the place where you will measure the absolute zero.

Why does a car accelerate if you turn the steering wheel?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Car accelerates whenever its velocity is changed by either changing the speed or the direction of the car's motion. So, even if you are driving your car at a constant speed while turning around a corner, you are still accelerating.

A goal of financial regulatory agencies is to
ikadub [295]

The correct answer is A) prevent monopolies.

Financial regulatory agencies focus on preventing monopolies because monopolies can be negative in a capitalist economy.

A monopoly is when one company has almost complete control over one specific market. For example, John D. Rockefeller was considered a monopoly by many people as his company Standard Oil controlled roughly 90% of all oil created in the US during the late 19th century. This type of control by one company can have a negative effect on the consumers. This is due to the fact that the monopoly has very little competition. Since there are few (if any) companies that can compete with the monopoly, the company that has cornered the market may have the chance to raise prices as high as they want. This is due to the fact that there is no other source to get this good from. This is why the government regulates the development of monopolies.
