Questions and Answers

In the analogy provided, what do the narrow bridges on the highway represent in the electrical circuit?

  • Power source
  • Traffic signs
  • Flow of electrons
  • Resistors (correct)

What is the role of the traffic signs 'Slow down, narrow bridge' in the analogy?

  • To increase resistance (correct)
  • To reduce speed
  • To guide the flow of electrons
  • To facilitate travel

Why must all electrons flow through R1, R2, R3, and R4 before reaching point A in the electrical circuit?

  • To increase resistance
  • To ensure continuity of flow (correct)
  • To reduce speed
  • To conserve electrons
