Question

patty makes a table of the symbols used for the parts of an electric circuit.
table with columns symbol and component:

• symbol: (bulb symbol), component: (empty)
• symbol: (battery symbol), component: (empty)
• symbol: (switch symbol), component: (empty)
• symbol: (resistor symbol), component: x

what label should patty place in the marked cell?
○ battery
○ switch
○ resistor
○ bulb

Explanation:

To determine the label for the marked cell, we identify the circuit symbol: the zig - zag line ($\sim\sim\sim$ - like, but the standard resistor symbol is a zig - zag) represents a resistor. A bulb has a circle with an X, a battery has long and short lines, a switch has a breakable line with a dot and a lever - like symbol. So the symbol in the marked row is for a resistor.

Answer:

Resistor
