  • Q4
    The diagram shows the metal posts that are usually found on a battery. The battery can be connected to a bell and a switch to produce sound. Which statement best explains why there are two metal posts on the battery?
    Question Image
    One metal post make the bell start to ring, and the other metal post makes the bell ring louder.
    One metal post makes a complete circuit with the switch, and the other metal post makes a complete circuit with the bell.
    The battery needs to form a complete circuit that starts with one metal post and ends with the other metal post.
    The battery needs only one metal post to connect to the bell, but the other metal post is present in case the first post fails to work.
