Using Electrical Energy Quiz

What is a conductor in terms of electricity?

• A type of musical director

• A type of insulator

• A type of lightning rod

• Material that allows the flow of electric current

What is an insulator in terms of electricity?

• A material that generates electricity

• A material that absorbs electricity

• A material that does not conduct electricity

• A material that amplifies electricity

Select ALL forms of energy:

• heat

• electrical

• light

• motion

What does a circut breaker do?

• melts

• switch open a circut if the current gets too high

• makes more electricity

• blows up

Name one safety measure to take when dealing with electricity.

• Wearing metal-soled shoes when working with electricity.

• Wearing rubber-soled shoes when working with electricity.

• Standing in a puddle of water while working with electricity.

• Touching live wires with bare hands.

What are the dangers of coming into contact with live electrical wires?

• Electricity is harmless

• Increased energy levels

• Electrocution, burns, and potential fire hazards

• Enhanced physical strength

What should you do if you experience an electric shock?

• Seek medical attention

• Ignore it and continue with your activities

• Rub the affected area with a metal object

• Take a nap to sleep it off

What is a transformer?

• an electrical tool that makes sparks

• an electrical tool that stops voltage

• an electrical tool that changes the voltage

• an electrical tool to protect the circuit from overcurrent and prevent damage to the components

Why is it important to never overload an electrical outlet?

• To test the outlet's capacity

• To save electricity

• To prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.

• To create a light show

After a transformer lowers the voltage of current, what happens next in the path of energy?

• electrical energy is produced at a power plant

• a transformer increases voltage of the electrical current

• another transformer lowers the voltage so it is safe enough to enter a home

• electrical cables carry the electric current back to the power plant
