Electricity and Circuits simplified

What is electricity?

• The flow of electrons through objects.

• The flow of water through river.

• The flow of water.

• The flow of air.

draw a circuit with a battery, switch and a light bulb.

Can electrons pass through an insulator?

• Yes, but if the insulator is minuscule

• Yes

• No because it is not possible

• No

Answer explanation

If you are wondering why there is an option telling electrons can pass through insulators, is because if the insulator is as small as a single pin in a computer, the electron can quantum tunnel through the insulator cause a lot of problems

What is required to make a variable circuit? (The order of items is _____, battery, light blub and a switch)

Can you make a circuit with a battery and nothing else?

• Yes

• No

• No because there is nothing the battery can power

• Yes, but is highly risky and is lethal

If you are told to make a circuit with a battery, what would you do? Give an explanation.

Why do we make circuits?

• We make circuits to control light bulbs

• We make circuits to control fans

• We make circuits to control certain aspects of light or fans

• We make circuits because it is fun

_____ are used to control certain aspects of objects powered by batterys or electrons.

Do you think hydroelectricity is a good source of electricity?

• Yes with a few caveats

• Yes

• No

• No with a few exceptions

Who discovered electricity?

Answer explanation

Nicolas Tesla was the first one to make electricity a thing making a Tesla coil, hence being the first. Benjamin just took inspiration from this and made the lightbulb. If I am wrong please correct me.
