Question 1

Question
In a simple series circuit, why does the bulb light when you close the switch?
Answer
  • Because the switch produces electricity .
  • Because closing the switch completes the circuit.
  • Because closing the switch breaks the circuit.
  • Because voltage flows through the circuit.

Question 2

Question
A simple series circuit consists of one 1.5V battery, wires and one bulb. When the1.5V battery is replaced with a 3V battery:
Answer
  • the bulb glows brighter.
  • the bulb glows with the same level of brightness.
  • the bulb glows dimmer
  • the bulb "blows" and the circuit will no longer work.

Question 3

Question
A material that lets electricity pass through it is called:
Answer
  • an electrical conductor
  • an electrical inductor
  • an electrical insulator
  • an electrical appliance

Question 4

Question
Which of the following materials is NOT an electrical conductor?
Answer
  • gold
  • copper
  • carbon
  • phosphorus

Question 5

Question
Which of the following materials is an electrical insulator?
Answer
  • lead
  • brass
  • rubber
  • aluminium

Question 6

Question
In which circuit will the bulb or bulbs glow brightest?
Answer
  • A simple series circuit with one bulb and one battery
  • A simple circuit with one bulb and two batteries.
  • A simple series circuit with two bulbs and one battery
  • A simple circuit with one battery and two bulbs in parallel.

Question 7

Question
Why is a bulb brighter when it is powered by two batteries in series rather than by just one battery?
Answer
  • Because the flow of electric current in the circuit is less.
  • Because the flow of electric current in the circuit is greater.
  • Because the flow of voltage in the circuit is greater.
  • Because the total voltage across the circuit is less.
