Question

Which statement describes the flow of electricity if a small motor is connected to the gap in the wire and the circuit is closed? A) The flow of electricity stops. B) The electricity flows, and the motor turns on. C) The flow of electricity stops, and the motor turns on. D) The flow of electricity changes direction

Answer 1

B. The electricity flows and the motor turns on

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of circuits as a draw bridge. When the draw bridge is up no one can cross over to the other side. When the draw bridge is down everyone can cross over to the other side. Similarly to open and closed circuits, when the circuit is open no electricity can flow. When the circuit is closed electricity can flow.
