Can electricity flow through water?

• No, electricity cannot flow through water.

• Yes, but only in distilled water.

• Yes, electricity can flow through water, especially if it contains impurities.

• Only if the water is boiling.

True or False: Electricity can produce magnetism.

• True

• False

• Sometimes

• Only in certain conditions

What is the difference between static electricity and current electricity?

• Static electricity is the flow of electric charge, while current electricity is the buildup of charge.

• Static electricity is the buildup of charge, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge.

• Static electricity occurs in circuits, while current electricity does not.

• Static electricity is always harmful, while current electricity is always safe.

What is a conductor?

• A material that can store electrical energy.

• A type of object through which an electric current can flow.

• An insulator that prevents the flow of electricity.

• A device that generates electrical energy.

What is Static Electricity?

• The flow of electric current through a conductor.

• The buildup of an electrical charge in or on the surface of an object.

• The process of generating electricity from renewable sources.

• The transfer of heat through direct contact.

What are the components of a complete, simple circuit?

• Wire, a battery, and a light bulb

• Wire, a switch, and a resistor

• A battery, a light bulb, and a fuse

• Wire, a capacitor, and a diode

True or False: Insulators allow electric current to flow through them.

• True

• False

• Sometimes

• Only under high voltage

What is an example of a good conductor?

• Aluminum

• Copper

• Wood

• Plastic

What happens when an electric current flows through a wire?

• It creates a small magnetic field around the wire.

• It generates heat and light.

• It causes the wire to expand.

• It produces sound waves.

What materials are commonly used as insulators?

• Glass

• Wood

• Metal

• Concrete
