1. A) Reducing the thickness of the conductor would result in increased resistance to the flow of electric current

2. D) Induced magnetism produces magnetism by placing a body within a magnetic field.

3. C) For an electric current to be produced, an electric potential between two bodies and a conducting path joining the bodies.

5. C) 1/R= 1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3

6. A) Silicon, commonly used in electronic devices, is classified as a semiconductor

7. B) Electrons from your hair jump to the balloon, causing it to become negatively charged on one side.

Explanation:

7. The balloon “steals” electrons from your hair, which causes one side of the balloon to become negatively charged. Since your hair lost electrons, it now has a partial positive charge. Opposite charges of static electric attract, causing them to stick together.

6. For a material to be considered a semiconductor, it must have a resistance to electric current that's too high to be considered a conductor but too low to be considered an insulator. Three common semiconductors used in electronic devices are silicon, germanium, and selenium.

5. If three components are arranged to form a parallel circuit, and the individual resistance of these components are r1, r2, and r3 respectively, the formula for finding the total resistance R is: 1/R= 1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3.

4. YOU REPEATED QUESTIONS 1 & 4.

3. For an electric current to be produced, there must be an electric potential between two bodies and a conducting path joining the bodies. Two oppositely charged bodies won't produce a current unless there's a conduction path for the electrons to travel through.

2. Placing a piece of metal such as an iron bar into a magnetic field, thereby causing the bar to become magnetized, is known as induced magnetism. Typically, an object that has been magnetized in this manner will lose its magnetic properties quickly when removed from the magnetic field.

1. The resistance to electric current increases as the cross-section of the conductor is reduced, as the conductor is lengthened, and as the conductor is heated. Replacing the conductor with a less-conductive material increases the resistance as well.
