Solution: A circuit is the closed path through which electric current flows.
Q2 — Electric Circuits · easy · theory
In a torch, which part gives out the electricity?
A. The switch
B. The glass front
C. The metal body
D. The dry cell (battery) ✓ Correct
Solution: The dry cell (battery) is the source of electricity in a torch.
Q3 — Electric Circuits · easy · theory
In a simple circuit, which part lights up and gives out light?
A. The bulb ✓ Correct
B. The switch
C. The wire
D. The cell
Solution: The bulb is the part of a circuit that glows and gives out light.
Q4 — Electric Circuits · easy · theory
The connecting wires used in a circuit are usually made of …
A. Rubber
B. Wood
C. Plastic
D. Copper metal ✓ Correct
Solution: Wires are made of a metal like copper because metal lets current flow through it.
Q5 — Electric Circuits · medium · theory
What is the main job of a cell (battery) in a circuit?
A. To provide the electricity that pushes the current ✓ Correct
B. To give out light
C. To store water
D. To make a loud sound
Solution: The cell provides the electric energy that pushes the current around the circuit.
Q6 — Electric Circuits · medium · theory
For a bulb in a circuit to glow, the circuit must be …
A. Painted a bright colour
B. Broken at one place
C. Complete (an unbroken loop) ✓ Correct
D. Filled with water
Solution: Current can flow only when the circuit forms a complete, unbroken loop.
Q7 — Electric Circuits · medium · theory
The two ends of a cell, marked + and −, are called its …
A. Corners
B. Bulbs
C. Terminals ✓ Correct
D. Wires
Solution: The two ends of a cell are called its terminals, one positive (+) and one negative (−).
Q8 — Electric Circuits · medium · theory
Which part of a circuit is used to turn the current on or off?
A. The wire
B. The bulb
C. The cell
D. The switch ✓ Correct
Solution: A switch is used to turn the current on and off in a circuit.
Q9 — Electric Circuits · hard · theory
In a simple circuit, current flows out from one terminal of the cell and finally returns to …
A. The other terminal of the cell ✓ Correct
B. Nowhere, it just stops
C. The same terminal it left from
D. The bulb, where it stays
Solution: Current flows out from one terminal, through the circuit, and back into the other terminal of the cell.
Q10 — Electric Circuits · hard · theory
A circuit has a cell, wires and a good bulb joined in a complete loop, but the bulb still does not glow. The most likely reason is …
A. The circuit is too small
B. The cell (battery) is used up ✓ Correct
C. The wires are too short
D. The bulb is too shiny
Solution: If everything is connected but the bulb stays off, the cell has most likely run out of energy.
