Answers

1 Electrons2 battery3 lamp4 parallel5 B6 Series7 Yes, because it’s a parellel circuit. Electrons

have other paths to complete the circuit.

Answers

8 No, because it’s a series circuit and the electrons don`t have any other way to complete the circuit.

9 switch10 metalic paper clip: conductor11 tap water: conductor (agua de la llave)12 eraser: insulator13 It won’t work because the circuit isn’t complete.

Answers

14 The light would be brigher. This happens because wire is a resistor, it uses current and if we take out the long wire and add a shorter one more electric current ( formed by electrons) are going to be available.
