Amelia is trying to replace a wire to her car battery which has become damaged. She can only find a smaller diameter wire in the store she is shopping in. How would decreasing the diameter of the wires in a circuit influence the resistance and flow of electrons in the circuit?

• It would decrease the resistance, causing fewer electrons to flow through the circuit.

• It would increase the resistance, causing fewer electrons to flow through the circuit.

• It would decrease the resistance by allowing more electrons to flow through the circuit.

• It would increase the resistance by allowing more electrons to flow through the circuit.

In February of 2023 a major ice storm occurred in Kalamazoo Michigan. Up to 0.75 inches of ice accumulated on trees and buildings causing major damage across the city. Residents endured severe icy conditions for days until temperatures rose above zero degrees and melting could begin. When ice begins to melt at 0°C, water molecules

• begin to lose some of their atomic mass.

• break apart into individual water atoms.

• move more freely in relation to each other.

• release heat to the surrounding atmosphere.
