Question 41. Materials which do not allow electric current to flow through them are known as insulators.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    reflector
  4.    cell
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Electrical insulators arematerials which donot have free electrons in them and thereby do not allowelectric current to flow through them. For example, wood, plastic, etc.
Question 42. A thin wire that emits light in a bulb is known as _____.
  1.    insulator
  2.    filament
  3.    reflector
  4.    refractor
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> filament
:
B
The thin wire that emitslight is known as the filament of the bulb. It is generally made up of tungsten. When current passes through it, it heats up and glows.
A Thin Wire That Emits light In A Bulb Is Known As _____.
Question 43. Electricity is not a form of energy.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Energy is the ability to do work. Electricity is one of the forms ofenergyresulting from the flow of electric charges. With the help of electricity, we can do many things like operate machines, lightbulbs, fans etc.
Question 44. A battery made up of two cells has ________ terminals.
  1.    one
  2.    two
  3.    three
  4.    four
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> two
:
B
There are two terminals in a battery. Battery terminals are the electrical contacts used to connect a load (for example, a bulb) to the battery. Number of terminals in a battery is independent of the number of cells used to make the battery.
Question 45. In an electric circuit, current flows from __________ of the electric cell.
  1.    the positive terminal to the negative terminal
  2.    the negative terminal to the positive terminal
  3.    the neutral terminal to the positive terminal
  4.    the neutral terminal to the negative terminal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> the positive terminal to the negative terminal
:
A
In an electric circuit, the current flows from the positive terminal to thenegative terminal of the cell. The image below gives the direction of current, where 'I' denotes the current.The direction of flow of electrons is opposite to the direction of flow of current.
In An Electric Circuit, Current Flows From __________ Of The...
Question 46. An electric bulb consists of ___________ terminal/s.
  1.    one
  2.    two
  3.    three
  4.    six
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> two
:
B
An electrical component requires some points of connection to external circuits so that a closed path can be formed. An electric bulb also has two terminals to facilitate connections.
Question 47. When the chemical energy inside the cell is used up, the cell stops producing electricity.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Both positive and negative terminal
  4.    Neutral terminal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
An electric cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. When the chemicals in a cell get used up, it stops working, as it has no more chemical energy to be transformed into electrical energy.
Question 48. Glass is an example of ____________.
  1.    electric conductor
  2.    electric insulator
  3.    metal
  4.    electromagnet
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> electric insulator
:
B
Insulators are poorconductors of electricity. Glass is an example of electric insulatorbecause it does not contain free electrons and cannot conduct electricity.
Question 49. A break in the filament of an electric bulb means________.
  1.    the switch is off
  2.    the switch is on 
  3.    the circuit is complete
  4.    the circuit is incomplete
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> the circuit is incomplete
:
D
A bulb with broken filament is called a fused bulb andit does not glow. If the filament of abulb is broken,the circuit is incomplete. Thus, itrestricts the flow of current.
Question 50. The metal disc of an electric cell is:
  1.    Positive terminal
  2.    Negative terminal
  3.    Both positive and negative terminal
  4.    Neutral terminal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Negative terminal
:
B
All electric cells have two terminals.
The metal disc of an electric cell is the negative terminal.
The Metal Disc of An Electric Cell Is:
