In this task, you are given a question and answer for that. The answer will fill in the blank or will complete the unfinished question. Your task is to provide an explanation based on the given question or fill-in-the-blank statement, and answer.

[EX Q]: Question: Polly was adding resistors to a circuit. Increasing the resistance in this series circuit will cause the total current to 
 Answer: increase
[EX A]: If we increase the resistance in a series circuit, by adding more resistors, then the total current decreases.

[EX Q]: Question: Compared to a ripple in a pond caused by a drop of rain, would a wave in the ocean have 
 Answer: more distantly spaced particles in its rarefactions
[EX A]: Places where particles of a medium crowd closer together are called compressions, and places where the particles spread farther apart are called rarefactions. The more energy the wave has, the closer together the particles are in compressions and the farther apart they are in rarefactions.

[EX Q]: Question: Eric noticed that diffusion was occurring quickly in a medium. This medium has particles that are 
 Answer: closer together
[EX A]:
This means the rate of diffusion is much slower in liquids than in gases, because the particles of a gas are further apart and collide much less.
