REVISION WORKSHEET
1. Fill in the blanks:
(a) A device that is used to break an electric circuit is called ______.
(b) An electric cell has ______ terminals.
(c) Our body is a ________conductor of electricity.
2. Mark ‘True’ or ‘False’ for the following statements:
(a) Electric current can flow through metals. ___
(b) Instead of metal wires, a jute string can be used to make a circuit. ____
(c) Electric current can pass through a sheet of thermocol. ____
3. Explain why the bulb would not glow in the arrangement shown in fig
4. Complete the drawing shown in Fig.(refer textbook) to indicate where the
free ends of the two wires should be joined to make the bulb glow.
5. What is the purpose of using an electric switch? Name some electrical
gadgets that have switches built into them.
6. Would the bulb glow after completing the circuit shown in Fig. if instead of
safety pin we use an eraser?
7. Give one activity to prove that air is an insulator.
[Link] the “conduction tester” on an object it was found that the bulb
begins to glow. Is that object a conductor or an insulator? Explain.
[Link] should an electrician use rubber gloves while repairing an electric
switch at your home? Explain.
10. What is bulb? Mention two main conditions necessary to make the bulb
glow.
[Link] handles of the tools like screwdrivers and pliers used by electricians for
repair work usually have plastic or rubber covers on them. Can you explain
why?
[Link] is the direction of flow of current in a dry cell?
13. What is open circuit?
[Link] the uses of insulators.
[Link] conductors and insulators. Give one example of each.
[Link] you touch an electric wire carrying current you get a shock, but if on the
same wire the birds sit they do not get any shock/current. Explain why?
17. How many types of electric circuit are there? Define them.
[Link] have a single piece of connecting wire. Can you make a bulb glow
without cutting the wire into two? Explain with the help of a diagram.
