Answer:
D. Electricity will flow if the electrons are bound loosely to their atoms in the material.
Explanation:
The continuous flow of charges is known as electricity (current). The flow of these charges are due to free or mobile electron within the atoms of the conductors. The materials which will allow current to pass through them, must have free or mobile electrons which are loosely bound to their atoms.
Thus, the correction for this question is "D"
D. Electricity will flow if the electrons are bound loosely to their atoms in the material.
For these two questions, first you need to know that the voltage across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same.
So, for Q5, we can first find out the voltage across R₂ by V=IR.
Voltage across R₂ = 2.5 × 8 = 20V
Since R₂ and R₃ are in parallel circuit, their voltage should be the same. Thus, voltage across R₃ is 20V.
So, by V=IR,
current of R₃ =
= 5A
Q6. voltage across R₁ = 2 × 4 = 8V
∴voltage across R₂ = 8V
current of R₂ =
= 1A
<h3><u>Alternative method</u></h3>
From these two examples, you can find out that the current of each branch of the parallel circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance of the branch.
ie. for Q5,
= 
= 
I₃ = 5A
Q6.
= 
= 
I₂ = 1A
