Protons (at least in solids)
Neutrons
Electrodes
Electrons (at least in solids)
- 2. Multiple Choice
What happens in a wet cell battery when a low current is passed through the battery in reverse of the normal flow?
The battery is re-charged (because the chemical reaction occurs in reverse)
The battery will get hot and explode
Nothing, batteries only work in one direction
The chemical reactions will undo themselves and atoms will begin to split in a chain reaction

- 8. Multiple Choice
How does the diameter of a wire affect its resistance?
Thinner Wire = More Resistance
Thicker Wire = More Resistance
The material the wire is made out of is the only thing that affects resistance
The diameter doesn't matter, just the length
- 9. Multiple Choice
How does the length of a wire affect its resistance?
Longer wire = more resistance
Shorter wire = more resistance
The material the wire is made of is the only thing that affects resistance
