Question

electric current flows through paths called circuits. people often build circuits using wires, resistors, and batteries. a battery is a voltage source. a circuit with which components has the highest current with the given voltages? wires, a 9v battery, no resistors wires, a 9v battery, a light bulb wires, a 1.5v battery, no resistors wires, a 1.5v battery, a light bulb

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law is $I = \frac{V}{R}$, where $I$ is current, $V$ is voltage and $R$ is resistance. Higher voltage and lower resistance lead to higher current.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option 1: Wires, 9V battery, no resistors. High - voltage ($V = 9V$) and low - resistance (no resistors).
• Option 2: Wires, 9V battery, light - bulb. Light - bulb has resistance, so current will be lower than Option 1.
• Option 3: Wires, 1.5V battery, no resistors. Low - voltage ($V = 1.5V$) compared to Option 1.
• Option 4: Wires, 1.5V battery, light - bulb. Low - voltage and high - resistance due to light - bulb.

Answer:

wires, a 9V battery, no resistors
