Only wire is necessary.

A switch is only needed if you want to be able to turn the current on and off easily.

A resistor is only needed if you want to generate some heat or limit the current.

All the components (D) ie, wire, switch and resistor are needed for current to flow in a series or parallel circuit.  
In a simple series circuit, all the components are connected end-to-end to form a single path for the electrons or electric current to flow through the circuit. A simple parallel circuit is where all the components in the circuit are connected between the same two sets of common points, creating a more than one path for the electrons or electric current to flow around the circuit.

What would happen? Why?
koban [17]
Lightning rods provide low resistance paths to the ground that’ll be used to conduct the enormous electrical currents when lightning strikes happen. So the system will attempt to carry the harmful electrical current away from it and safely to ground. The system will have the ability to handle enormous electrical currents associated with the lightning strikes, if they contact a material that isn’t a good conductor then the material will suffer massive heat damage. So the lightning rod system is considered the best conductor & this allows the current to flow to the ground without causing any massive heat damage.

Sound is a type of mechanical wave and must have a medium through which to travel. Sound will move at different speeds when whic
Alex787 [66]
Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !
