We have ignored the mass and specific heat of the thermometer. Does this make your measurement of the heat capacity of aluminum higher or lower?

Answer:   [a]:   "slate" .

Ohm's law tells you that i = v/r where v is equivalent voltage and r is equivalent resistance of the circuit
since all circuits have the same voltage, your question is really asking which circuit has the lowest total resistance, since the lower the resistance, the higher the current
circuit a has a resistance of 5 ohms; circuit c is in series so has a resistance of 10 ohms; circuit b is in parallel and therefore has a resistance of 2.5 ohms (review your notes on adding resistances in parallel and series); therefore b has the highest current

Iwould have to say sorry i can't elaborate more. hope this though!

Answermake them get very hot and over time wear them out;
