Here are the answers to your questions:
17. Which of the following would be considered a load in a circuit?
- **c. lightbulb** (A load is a component that converts electrical energy into another form of energy, such as light, heat, or motion. A lightbulb does this by converting electrical energy into light.)
18. What happens to the current flowing through a circuit as resistance increases?
- **c. It decreases** (According to Ohm's Law, when resistance increases in a circuit, the current decreases if the voltage remains constant.)
19. What must an object gain or lose to become electrically charged?
- **c. electrons** (An object becomes electrically charged by gaining or losing electrons. Gaining electrons gives a negative charge, while losing electrons gives a positive charge.)
20. What is the number of paths through which electricity can flow in a series circuit?
- **a. 1** (In a series circuit, there is only one path for current to flow.)
