- Q1If someone builds an electric circuit using a battery, a light bulb, paper clip, and cooper wire, would it work if the circuit doesn't make a complete loop?yesNo, because he needs an out letno, because a circuit has to be a complete loopmaybe30s
- Q2If Jessica replaces a paper clip with a wooden stick, would the circuit still work?No, the wood is an insulator (doesn't move electrons)Yes, the wood is a generatorNo, the wood is a batteryNo, the wood is a conductor (moves electrons)30s
- Q3I have an electric circuit with three light bulbs (A, B, C) , a switch, and a battery. What happens remove bulb A.It will blow up!The switch will breakNone of the other bulbs will workEverything will still work30s
- Q4What happens if you have an electric circuit with three bulbs ( Bulb A, Bulb B, Bulb C). What happens if Bulb B burns out? What happens to Bulb A and C?They will blow up.They will not stay lit because Bulb B is out.They will still stay lit because the electricity still runs through Bulb B.Bulb C will light up.30s
- Q5In a light bulb, such as the one shown below, the filament glows brightly when the switch is turned onlight energy into electrical energypotential energy into thermal energy and light energychemical energy into light energyelectrical energy into thermal energy and light energy30s
- Q6Some materials conduct electricity, but others do not. Which of these materials is an electrical conductor?plastic rulertoothpickrubber bandnail30s
- Q7There are two main types of electric circuits: series circuits and parallel circuits. How are series circuits different from parallel circuits?A series circuit uses electrical energy from a battery. A parallel circuit uses current from an outlet or generator.In a series circuit, current flows in one direction. In a parallel circuit, current flows in both directions.A series circuit provides current to one or two devices. A parallel circuit provides current to many devices.In a series circuit, there is only one possible path that current can follow. In a parallel circuit, there are two or more possible paths.30s
- Q8Many homes use electric ovens to cook food. What energy transformation occurs in an electric oven?electrical energy into thermal energyelectrical energy into energy of motionthermal energy into light energythermal energy into electrical energy30s
- Q9Many devices in your home convert electrical energy into other forms of energy. Which of these devices converts electrical energy into motion?light bulbdoor buzzerwater faucetpower saw30s
- Q10Sometimes calculators are solar powered with a light-sensitive panel. The calculator is taking solar energy and turning it into what kind of energy?light energythermal energymotionelectric current30s
- Q11When you walk into a dark room, you flip a switch on the wall and the lights come on. What is the purpose of the wall switch?It produces the electric current that the lights use.It carries electric current from the wall to the lights on the ceiling.It closes a circuit so that electric current can flow through the lights.It transforms electrical energy into light energy.30s
- Q12What is the purpose of a circuit breaker?to shut off the current if a circuit is overloadedto match the amount of current to what is neededto split electric current into different circuitsno purpose30s
- Q13. There is a limit to the amount of electric current that can be carried safely by an electric circuit. If too many appliances are attached to a particular circuit, the amount of current can be higher than the safe level. What happens if there is too much current in the circuit?Wires in the circuit become hot.Electrons stop moving in the wires.Some of the appliances stop working.Part of the current flows backward toward the outlet30s
- Q14All electric circuits need certain components in order to work. Which of the following mustbe part of an electric circuit?light bulb or buzzerbattery or other source of currentswitch or circuit breakercopper wires30s
- Q15Which of these elements is common to all electrical circuits?wall outletconductorbatteryinsulator30s
