Question 21.


Instead of metal wires, a jute string can be used for making electrical circuits.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

Electric current is a flow of charges. A good conductor consists of many free electrons in it and allow the flow of electrons with less resistance. Jute string is a bad conductor of electricity. Hence, we cannot use it in electrical circuits.


Question 22.


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 23.


In a closed circuit, electrons flow from negative to positive terminal of a cell.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     the circuit is complete
  4.     the circuit is incomplete
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Electric current is a flow of charges. We know current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of a cell. The direction of flow of current is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. Hence, in a closed circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a cell.
Question 24.


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:


Question 25.


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 26.


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 and it does not glow. If the filament of a bulb is broken, the circuit is incomplete. Thus, it restricts the flow of current.


Question 27.


A switch is a simple device that is used:


  1.     Either to complete or break a circuit
  2.     Only to break the circuit
  3.     Only to complete the circuit
  4.     Only to fill gaps in the circuit
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Either to complete or break a circuit
:
A
A switch is a simple device that is used either to complete or break a circuit. In the following circuit, bulb glows when the switch is “ON” and it does not glow when the switch is “OFF”.
A Switch Is A Simple Device That Is Used:
Question 28.



Human body is an example of a perfect electric insulator.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Only to complete the circuit
  4.     Only to fill gaps in the circuit
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

A human body can conduct electricity as it is composed largely of water and charged particles (ions). So we need to be careful while handling the electrical appliances, as we may get an electric shock.


Question 29.


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 poor conductors  of electricity. Glass is an example of electric insulator because it does not contain free electrons and cannot conduct electricity.


Question 30.


An electrician uses rubber or plastic gloves while repairing an electric appliance because ______.


  1.     it acts as an insulator
  2.     it acts as a conductor
  3.     it enhances convenience in handling wires
  4.     it protects from the radiations
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> it acts as an insulator
:
A

An electrician uses rubber or plastic gloves while repairing an electric appliance because it is an insulator and saves him from all the electric shocks. Insulators do not allow electric current to pass through them.
