Different prong sizes protected ensure the correct insertion. The third prong is an additional ground that insures in case the first ground faults. It is the most safe.

Answer 15

Electrical ground

Question 16

This measures the resistance in an electric___. There is only flow if force(___) is stronger than resistance(___).

Answer 16

OHM, circuit, volt, Ohm.

Question 17

____ is Electromagnetic radiation with a wave length shorter than___ but longer than___ and only visible to some.
It is a wave length just above violet and above the visible spectrum of light both are not really light at all their wave length of electromagnetic radiation.A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction with either heat or this____.It has more energy and doesn’t penetrate as deeply as visible light.

Answer 17

UV radiation. 
visible light
x-rays
insects or birds
Uv radiation

Question 18

This measures the pressure of force, it pushes the flow of electrons forward through complete electric____. No pressure equals no flow. A cars pressure is 12_ a houses is 110 and ACs and dryer’s are 220.

Answer 18

Voltage, circuit, V.

Question 19

This is how much electricity is being used per _____.
So a 40 ___ lightbulb will use 40 ___ per ___.It doesn’t really indicate how bright or powerful a lightbulb is just how much electricity it uses. Replacement bulbs should be the same as the original to maintain quality of service.

Answer 19

Watts, second, W. W Second

Question 20
