Question

interpreting circuits
9.0 v
which image represents the circuit diagram?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze circuit diagram type

The given diagram shows a parallel circuit: the switch, light bulb, and motor (M) are all connected across the 9.0V battery terminals, meaning each component receives full battery voltage, and they are connected in parallel branches.

Step2: Match to physical circuit

• First image: No switch, only a wire connection; does not match.
• Second image: The switch, bulb, and motor are each connected across the battery's positive and negative terminals, forming parallel branches; matches the diagram.
• Third image: Components are connected in series (one after another); does not match the parallel circuit diagram.

Answer:

B. The middle image (with battery, switch, light bulb, and motor all connected in parallel across the battery terminals)
