When resistors are connected end to end in a circuit, they are said to be in series. The total resistance equals the sum of all the resistances. Suppose a string of lights has 25 bulbs. Each bulb has a resistance of 8.0 ?. If the string is plugged into a 120 V outlet, how much current is the entire set of lights?
0.07 A
15 A
0.6 A
375 A

Which model shows a circuit where the current flowing through each bulb will be the same as the current at point X?
Suppose you rub an inflated 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?
Like charges on the balloon and wall cause an attraction between the two.
Balloons contain an atomic property that allows them to cling to other objects.
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.
All 3 of these choices are correct in what is happening.
