Which statements about this simple circuit are correct? Check as many as apply. Then put your statements together to form a complete description. Shannon is correct. A battery is a source of current. Cameron is correct. The chemical reactions in a battery maintain its potential difference. A wire is a conductor with electrons that are free to travel throughout. The wire gets hot because the conduction electrons collide with ions in the wire. Avi is correct. The chemical reactions in a battery are like a wood-burning fire: both are a source of heat. Shannon is correct. Batteries must be replaced when they can no longer supply current. A battery is a source of energy. Cameron is correct. A wire is not like a dry riverbed.
