“If a certain metal is cooked, it will conduct electricity better”
- this is a hypothesis, since the statement is kind of vague...”certain metal”...and is written in an “if-then” format.
The amount of electric current that passes through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage and is described as V = IR
- laws are usually scientific understanding that we’ve tested so much that we’ve come to a conclusion that can often be written out as a mathematical relationship. Hence, the “V = IR”
Electricity is the flow of electric charge in the form of electrons moving through a circuit
- this is a theory. I would give an explanation but I’m out of time.
