Materials which allow the electric current to flow through them are called good electric conductors. Which of the following is not a good conductor of electricity?

  1. Copper

  2. Aluminium

  3. Rubber

  4. Gold

  5. Salt water


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Rubber is a insulator of electricity. It therefore does not allow electric current to pass. 

Consider the following statements:

  1. Battery is a combination of two or more electric cells
  2. Electric current is the flow of electricity in a filament
  3. Insulator is a material that does not allow a flow of electricity in a terminal

Choose the statements that are false:

  1. Battery is a combination of two or more electric cells.
  2. A bulb, in which the filament breaks, is called a fused electric bulb.
  3. The complete path from one terminal of an electric cell through the bulb and back to the other terminal is called open circuit.
  1. Both 1 and 2

  2. 2 and 3

  3. Only 3

  4. Both 1 and 3

  5. Only 2


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The complete path from one terminal of an electric cell through the bulb and back to the other terminal is called open circuit, and  is an incorrect statement. It is called an closed circuit.

High rise buildings use electric lifts. In electric lifts, electrical energy is converted into ___________ energy.

  1. mechanical

  2. light

  3. sound

  4. magnetic

  5. heat


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. When the work is done upon the object, that object gains energy. The energy acquired by the objects upon which work is done is known as mechanical energy. The motor here converts the electric energy into mechanical energy.

Which of the following is a good conductor of electricity?

  1. Dry wood

  2. Plastic

  3. Ceramic

  4. Glass

  5. Nickel


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Nickel is a good conductor of electricity. A good conductor of electricity is a substance that allows electric current to flow through it with little resistance. Most metals are good conductors of electricity.

Consider the following definition: The complete path from one terminal of an electric cell through the bulb and back to the other terminal of the electric cell is called Electric Circuit.

Match the following:

 
a. Conductors 1. Ends of an electric cells
b. Graphite 2. Which allow current to pass
c. Insulators 3. Good conductor
d. Terminals 4. Which do not allow the current to pass
  1. a - 2, b - 3, c - 1, d - 4

  2. a - 2, b - 3, c - 4, d - 1

  3. a - 3, b - 2, c - 4, d - 1

  4. a - 2, b - 4, c - 3, d - 1

  5. a - 1, b - 3, c - 4, d - 2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Conductors allow the current to pass through them, graphite is a good conductor of electricity, insulators do not allow the current to pass through them and terminals are the ends of an electric cell.

Which of the following statements is false: A. The electric energy which is supplied in our homes comes from electric power houses. B. An electric bulb is a device which changes light energy into electric energy. C. Electric current flows through a closed electric circuit. D. Materials which do not allow electric current to flow through them are called insulators.

  1. Only a

  2. Only b

  3. Both a and c

  4. Only d

  5. Both b and d


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option as the statement is incorrect. An electric bulb is a device, which changes electric energy into light energy and not light energy into electric energy.

Which of the following devices does not work on electricity?

  1. Television

  2. Windmill

  3. Fan

  4. Toaster

  5. Refrigerator


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. A windmill does not uses electrical energy, rather it uses wind energy and converts it into electrical energy.

Electric current flows in the direction from __________ terminal in a circuit.

  1. negative to positive

  2. positive to negative

  3. negative to negative

  4. positive to positive

  5. positive to neutral


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The flow of current is from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. Only then it is called a complete circuit.

In an electric bulb, when electric current is passed through the filament, it gets white hot and produces light. This filament is made of _____________.

  1. copper

  2. iron

  3. aluminium

  4. tungsten

  5. zinc


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The filament inside a light bulb is made of tungsten because it has an unusually high melting point. When electric current is passed through the filament, it gets white hot and produces light.

Which of the following sequences of terminals in a battery is the correct sequence?

  1. Positive - negative - positive - negative - positive - negative

  2. Positive - positive - negative - negative - positive - negative

  3. Negative - negative - positive - positive - negative - positive

  4. Negative - positive - negative - positive - negative - positive

  5. Positive - positive - positive - negative - negative - negative


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. When two or more cells are joined in such a way that the positive terminal of one cell is joined by the negative terminal of another cell, it is called a battery. Thus in a battery, the correct sequence is: positive - negative - positive - negative and so on.
