Electricity Quiz

What is an electric circuit?

• A type of battery used to store electrical energy.

• A material that does not allow electric current to flow through it.

• A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

• A closed loop or pathway that allows electric current to flow through it.

Name two examples of conductors.

• iron and steel

• wood and plastic

• copper and aluminum

• glass and rubber

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

• A conductor and an insulator have the same properties.

• A conductor allows the flow of electric current, while an insulator does not.

• A conductor is used in electrical circuits, while an insulator is used in plumbing.

• A conductor is made of metal, while an insulator is made of plastic.

What is a series circuit?

• A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected in a single loop, so the current flows through each component in sequence.

• A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected in a random order, so the current flows through each component unpredictably.

• A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are not connected to each other, so the current does not flow.

• A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected in parallel, so the current flows through each component simultaneously.

What is a parallel circuit?

• An electrical circuit that has only one path for the current to flow.

• An electrical circuit that has no path for the current to flow.

• An electrical circuit that has multiple sources of current.

• An electrical circuit that has multiple paths for the current to flow.

What happens when two objects with opposite charges come close to each other?

• They create a magnetic field.

• They merge into one object.

• They attract each other.

• They repel each other.

What is static electricity?

• A buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object.

• A type of electricity that is only found in lightning.

• A type of electricity that is generated by magnets.

• A type of electricity that is always in motion.

Give an example of static electricity in everyday life.

• Rubbing a balloon against your hair and then sticking it to a person.

• Rubbing a balloon against your hair and then sticking it to the floor.

• Rubbing a balloon against your hair and then sticking it to a tree.

• Rubbing a balloon against your hair and then sticking it to a wall.

What is the purpose of a switch in an electric circuit?

• To control the flow of electricity

• To generate electricity

• To store electricity

• To increase the flow of electricity

What is the role of a fuse in an electric circuit?

• The role of a fuse in an electric circuit is to generate electricity.

• The role of a fuse in an electric circuit is to protect the circuit from excessive current.

• The role of a fuse in an electric circuit is to regulate the voltage.

• The role of a fuse in an electric circuit is to increase the current flow.
