A student has been studying electrical circuits in class. The student suggests that replacing a wire with rubber tubing will stop the current from flowing through a circuit. Which term best describes this idea?

hypothesis

conclusion

theory

law

hypothesis

Explanation:

This is a hypothesis.

A hypothesis is a simple scientific guess into nature usually drawn from succinct and detailed inquiry into the nature.

It is usually preceded by  observation making and asking of questions.

Now, we formulate a testable and falsifiable hypothesis which experiments can prove or disprove. This will then lead to the formation of either a theory or law.

The student is predicting from his observation that if the rubber tubing replaces wire, current will not flow.

answer: ice crystals in air

the water from the water body or another source of water gets evaporated as water vapor as an effect of heat on water. these water vapor rises in the upper layers of the earth atmosphere under high atmospheric pressure. the atmospheric pressure of these water molecules starts to decrease due to the effect of cold air. the invisible water vapor condenses into visible water droplets and ice crystals.these ice crystals and water droplets being less denser than the surrounding air floats on air as clouds.
