- Q1The diagram shows a series circuit with three lit bulbs. How many of the bulbs will remain lit if the wire is cut at the point shown by the arrow?302160s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q2Which of these changes to the electric circuit shown above will cause the lightbulb to light up?Adding a switch and more wire so that the current can flow more easilyStraightening the wire so that the current can flow more easilyMaking the length of wire the same on both sides of the lightbulbTurning one battery so that its positive end connects to the other battery’s negative end60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q3A string of lights with small bulbs is shown below. The bulbs are connected by wire that is covered with an insulator. When the lights are on, electricity travels in —a light raya complete circuita sound wavean incomplete path60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q4The 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?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.60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q5Most 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?The car’s power windows will open faster.The car’s lights will burn brighterThe car’s turn signal will blink too slowly.The car’s radio will not work.60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q6A group of students built the circuit shown below. The lightbulb does not glow. Which statement explains this observation?The circuit does not have a switch.The battery is not charged.The bell uses most of the energy from the battery.The lightbulb is not part of a complete circuit.60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q7Many types of fans are used in homes. One type of electric fan is shown below. In addition to mechanical energy, which of these is produced as electric current passes through the circuit of this fan?LightWater vaporHeatMass60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q8A simplified diagram of a system using solar energy is shown. To recharge the battery for later use without lighting the bulb, which of the following switches should be closed?Switches R and S onlySwitch S onlySwitches R, S, and TSwitches R and T only60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q9All the lightbulbs in this circuit are lit. Which change would cause all the bulbs to go out?Removing Wires 2 and 4Removing Wires 3 and 4Removing Wire 1Removing Wires 2 and 560s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q10Students constructed a circuit using different-colored lightbulbs. What will happen if Switch 3 is closed and the other switches are left open?Only the white bulb will operate.None of the bulbs will operateOnly the white and yellow bulbs will operate.Only the red and blue bulbs will operate.60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q11This circuit has three lightbulbs and a bell. Which procedure will result in only the blue lightbulbs operating?Close Switches 2 and 3 and leave Switch 1 openClose Switch 2 and leave Switches 1 and 3 openClose Switch 3 and leave Switches 1 and 2 openClose Switches 1 and 2 and leave Switch 3 open60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q12The diagram shows an electric circuit with four bells that a student plans to build. When the student connects the wires as shown, which of the bells will ring?Bells 1, 2, 3, and 4Bells 3 and 4 onlyBells 1 and 4 onlyBell 1 only60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q13In some circuits that are used for decorating, one burned-out lightbulb will prevent all the other lightbulbs from lighting. In other circuits, one burned-out lightbulb will have no effect on the other lightbulbs. In which of these circuits will the other lightbulbs still light even if one bulb is burned out?#texas/bc05a081-d4ac-444c-86c2-fbe43e97ea58/A.png#texas/bc05a081-d4ac-444c-86c2-fbe43e97ea58/B.png#texas/bc05a081-d4ac-444c-86c2-fbe43e97ea58/D.png#texas/bc05a081-d4ac-444c-86c2-fbe43e97ea58/C.png60s5.6.B: Force, Motion and Energy
