Sara read in a book that in 1800, the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta observed that two metals connected by a conducting liquid produced a continuous transfer of electrons. This phenomenon was different from the rapid static discharge observed by Benjamin Franklin.Sara’s book was describing Volta’s observation of:
Which sequence lists types of materials in order from least conductive to most conductive?




The basic unit of electric current is the:
potentialconductivityinsulation✔ resistance
Which best explains why an electric toaster is considered a resistor?
A negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, as shown below.

Which lists types of materials from most conductive to least conductive?
How does increasing the amount of charge on an object affect the electric force it exerts on another charged object?
Measurements of two electric currents are shown in the chart.

What would make oppositely charged objects attract each other more?
Resistance depends on which three properties of a wire?Color and texture are not directly related to a wire’s resistance.
What is the name of the area around a charged object where the object can exert a force on other charged objects?
Superconducting magnets are used in machines called particle accelerators. These machines rely on zero resistance in order to function properly.
What would decrease the resistance of wires carrying an electric current?
In the diagram, the arrow shows the movement of electric charges through a wire connected to a battery.

Anton created a chart listing different types of materials.

The chart shows the voltage of four electric currents.

Which two wire properties would provide the greatest resistance to the flow of a current?
