Electricity quiz

Question 1

Using 1 wire, 1 battery, and 1 bulb, how can you make the bulb light up?

Answer 1

Both ends of THE WIRE must touch metal. One end of the wire must touch the battery on the + or on the negative terminal other end must touch the metal threads or the soldered tip (both metal) The metal part of the bulb that is NOT touching must touch the available terminal.

Question 2

Using 2 wires, 1 battery, and 1 bulb, how can you make the bulb light up?

Answer 2

Both ends of BOTH WIRES must touch metal. One end of one wire must touch the + term. One end of one wire must touch the - term. The other end of one must touch the soldered tip The other end of the other must touch the metal threads.

Question 3

Using 2 wires, 2 batteries, and 1 bulb, how can you make the bulb light up?

Answer 3

+ term of one battery touches - term of other One end of one wire must touch the available + term. One end of one wire must touch the - term. The other end of one must touch the soldered tip The other end of the other must touch the metal threads.

Question 4

Batteries in series: definition, advantages, disadvantages

Answer 4

1 single path for flow of electricity brighter doesn’t last as long because if 1 battery dies, light goes out

Question 20

charge

Answer 20

the result of atoms with an unequal number of protons and electrons. More protons: positive charge. More electrons: negative charge.

Question 21

force:

Answer 21

the way two or more objects interact.

Question 22

3 types of force

Answer 22

attraction (pull) repulsion (push) friction (rub)

Question 23

static electricity

Answer 23

negatively charged electrons that move off the surface of one object and build up on the surface of another. The electrons do not move through a circuit. They rest on the surface of that object until they are released. This release is called electrical discharge.

Question 24

electrical discharge

Answer 24

The loss of static electricity as negatively charged electrons move off the surface of an object

Question 25

current electricity

Answer 25

the continuous flow of negatively charged electrons through a closed circuit

Question 26

circuit

Answer 26

a metal path that electrons flow through when it is completely closed. The flow of electrons stops when the metal path is open.

Question 27

battery

Answer 27

a container holding materials that produce electricity

Question 28

filament

Answer 28

the thin wire inside a bulb that gives off light and heat when electrons flow through it.

Question 29

insulator

Answer 29

a non-metal object that stops the flow of electricity

Question 30

conductor

Answer 30

a metal object that continues the flow of electricity

Question 31

bulb

Answer 31

glass enclosed object that glows when electrons flow through it

Question 32

wire

Answer 32

strip of metal that connects different parts of a circuit

Question 33

volt

Answer 33

measurement of electrical force

Question 34

series circuit

Answer 34

a type of circuit with only one path for the flow of electrons. brighter but does not last as long

Question 35

parallel circuit

Answer 35

a type of circuit with multiple paths for the flow of electrons. lasts longer but not as bright.

Question 36

how is static electricity like current electricity? How different?

Answer 36

Like: involves movement of electrons Different: electrons do not move through a circuit.
