Answer: the ladder
Explanation: since the energized conductor is already in contact with the ladder there by making electric current to flow. The base of the ladder is on the ground there by making the circuit to be complete and causing electrocution.
Almost right. protons are positive and electrons are negative. so when you run the balloon on your hair, electrons are transferred between them (i’m not sure which direction) and now one is positively charged as it lost negative particles and one is negative as it gained negative particles (electrons). opposite charges attract
If the resistor is in series with the rest of the circuit then a is the correct answer. The voltage across the resistor in series with another resistor is

where R is the big resistor and r is the small one and V is the total voltage drop across both. This is called a voltage divider
Set up a proportion
1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x
Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat
