Section A · multiple choice

  1. 1.

    A cell has a positive terminal which is the:

    1. paper cover
    2. middle of the cell
    3. flat metal disc
    4. metal cap
    Answer

    (d) metal cap

    the flat disc is negative

  2. 2.

    Which of these is a CONDUCTOR of electricity?

    1. a copper wire
    2. a paper strip
    3. a cork
    4. a candle
    Answer

    (a) a copper wire

  3. 3.

    Which of these is an INSULATOR?

    1. a safety pin
    2. a copper wire
    3. a steel spoon
    4. a cork
    Answer

    (d) a cork

Section B · short answer

  1. 4.

    What is an electric circuit?

    Answer

    A complete, closed path through which electric current flows.

  2. 5.

    Write "conductor" or "insulator": (a) a coin (b) a plastic ruler

    Answer

    (a) conductor (b) insulator

Section C · long answer

  1. 6.

    Describe how to make a conduction tester and use it to test materials.

    Answer

    Connect a cell, a lamp (or LED) and wires so two free wire ends are left open. Touch both ends to an object. If the lamp glows, the object is a conductor (key, coin, foil); if not, it is an insulator (wood, plastic, rubber).
