  • Q4
    The diagram shows the metal posts that are usually found on a battery. The battery can be connected to a bell and a switch to produce sound. Which statement best explains why there are two metal posts on the battery?
    Question Image
    One metal post makes a complete circuit with the switch, and the other metal post makes a complete circuit with the bell.
    The battery needs to form a complete circuit that starts with one metal post and ends with the other metal post.
    One metal post makes the bell start to ring, and the other metal post makes the bell ring louder.
    The battery needs only one metal post to connect to the bell, but the other metal post is present in case the first post fails to work.

  • Q5
    Most cars have lights, power locks, radios, and other equipment that use electricity. Electric circuits power this equipment. Each circuit has a fuse that completes it. The picture below shows one type of fuse a car may have. Which of these describes one thing that could happen if the wire in a car fuse burns out?
    Question Image
    The car’s power windows will open faster.
    The car’s lights will burn brighter
    The car’s turn signal will blink too slowly.
    The car’s radio will not work.
