Question

Suzanne created a circuit with a battery, some copper wire, and a light bulb. How might adding a piece of gold wire to the circuit affect the flow of electricity through the circuit? A. Gold wire will not allow the electricity to flow down the wire. B. Gold wire will allow the electricity to flow down the wire. C. Gold wire will act as a switch to turn on the circuit. D. Gold wire will act as a switch to turn off the circuit.

Answer 1

Because gold is a metal and a decent conductor, B is correct. It could easily bring the energy from place to place.

Answer 2

I'm in an engineering middle school so we learned this a long time ago. The answer is B. Because gold is a conductor of electricity (though it is not the strongest), it would allow electricity to flow through the circuit.
