Makey Makey Lesson 11

What is a momentary push button?

• A type of switch that only remains in the on state as long as it is being pressed

• A type of switch that can only be turned on once

• A type of switch that is always in the off state

  
  

• A type of switch that remains on even after being released

How can you test the switch created with Makey Makey?

• Connect it on the ground to see if it works

• Dip it in water to check its functionality

• Shake it vigorously to test the switch

• Connect it to a conductive material and touch the material to see if it triggers the switch.

How does a switch help in conserving energy in a circuit?

• It allows the user to turn off the flow of electricity when it is not needed.

• It generates more heat in the circuit

• It causes the circuit to use more energy

• It increases the flow of electricity in the circuit

Describe the different types of switches used in electronic circuits.

• Toggle switches, rocker switches, push-button switches, rotary switches, slide switches, etc.

• Red switches, Blue switches, Green switches

• On/Off switches, Up/Down switches, Left/Right switches

• There are no different types

Explain the concept of open and closed circuits in relation to switches.

• Open circuit prevents current flow, closed circuit prevents current flow

• Open circuit allows current flow, closed circuit prevents current flow

• Open circuit prevents current flow, closed circuit allows current flow

• Open circuit allows current flow, closed circuit allows current flow

A open circuit allows charges to flow. 

• True

• False

The lamp in this switch does not light up because...

• 
  it has only one cell

• 
  the switch is open

• it has only one switch

• the circuit is incomplete

This circuit has 2 lamps. If I add another lamp to this series circuit, the lamps will shine..

• brighter

• dimmer

• stay the same.
