PROBLEM: In solid-state physics, a dimensionally-equivalent "sheet" version of this quantity is often reported as its value "per square". Its quantum is equal to h over e squared, and the Drude model gives this extensive quantity as inversely proportional to the product of carrier number density and mobility. A complex version of this quantity includes a term equal to frequency times inductance. The power dissipated in a circuit equals (*) current squared times this value. Voltmeters work by applying a very large value for this quantity in parallel. Devices that provide this quantity are marked with a series of colored bands and symbolized with a zig-zag line. For 10 points, name this quantity set equal to voltage over current in a law named for Ohm, who also names its SI unit.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: The name of one character created by this author was used as a pseudonym by Charles P. Jacobs in a letter accusing Thomas Hardy of plagiarism. That character is introduced as a half-drowned body being carried into the Black Lion Inn.

For 10 points, name this author of Peregrine Pickle, Roderick Random, and Humphrey Clinker.

SOLUTION: Literature

PROBLEM: He used transparent materials liberally for the "Crystal Church" in Garden Grove, CA, and for his neo-gothic design for the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company.
