A closed circuit:

Suppose you rub an inflated party balloon on a carpet, hold the balloon
next to a wall, and discover that it "sticks" to the wall. Why did the
balloon stick to the wall?
a.Like charges on the balloon and wall cause an
attraction between the two.
b.Balloons contain a special "atomic glue" that allows
them to cling to other objects.
c.Excess charge builds up on the balloon and
electrostatic forces allow the balloon and wall to be
attracted to one another because they are oppositely
charged.

An electrician wires the entire kitchen in your home in
series. Included in the circuit are the refrigerator, overhead
electric lights, and the outlets to which the toaster and the
microwave oven are connected. In order to keep the
refrigerator operating properly, what would have to happen
with the other electrical appliances and lights?
If a person were able to hold onto a high voltage wire
suspended in air, what would happen?
And why?
• What is the voltage of a battery that produces 7 amps
through a 4 ohm circuit?
• How much current flows thru a 12 ohm circuit when 6
