... An electric bell connected to a battery is sealed inside a large jar. What happens as the air is removed from the jar? (A) The bell’s loudness increases because of decreased air resistance. (B) The bell’s loudness decreases because sound waves can not travel through a vacuum. (C) The electric circu ...
