Answer

Light bulb 1 and light bulb 2 will both be on

Answer

Light bulb 1 will be off, but light bulb 2 will be on

Answer

Light bulb 1 and light bulb 2 will both be off

Question 2

Students constructed a circuit using different-colored lightbulbs. What will happen if Switch 3 is closed and the other switches are left open?

Accepted Answer

Only the white and yellow bulbs will operate

Answer

Only the white bulb will operate

Answer

None of the bulbs will operate

Answer

Only the red and blue bulbs will operate

Question 3

The circuit has 3 lightbulbs and a bell. Which procedure will result in only the blue lightbulbs operating?

Accepted Answer

Close switches 2 and 3 and leave switch 1 open

Answer

Close switches 1 and 2 and leave switch 3 open

Answer

Close switch 3 and leave switches 1 and 2 open

Answer

Close switch 2 and leave switches 1 and 3 open

Question 4

When a circuit is open, the circuit is _________?

Accepted Answer

Off

Answer

On

Question 5

In the picture, if you replace the paper clip with a plastic spoon, what happens?

Accepted Answer

The bulb doesn't light

Answer

The bulb is dimmer

Answer

The wires get hot

Answer

There is no charge

Question 6

Why is electrical wiring usually made from copper?

Accepted Answer

Because copper conducts electricity

Answer

Because copper is shiny

Answer

Because copper is not magnetic

Answer

Because copper insulates electricity

Question 7

If no changes are made to this circuit, what will the results be?

Accepted Answer

Only the left bulb is lit because it has a closed path. The right bulb is not lit because of the open switch

Answer

Both bulbs are off because the switch is open

Answer

Both bulbs are lit because they each have a complete, closed path to the battery

Answer

Only the right bulb is lit because an open switch causes the energy to flow to the bulb.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

aluminum foil

Answer

plastic straw

Answer

cotton string

Answer

rubber eraser

Question 9

Which light will be brighter and why?

Accepted Answer

Bulb B because it has more volts

Answer

Bulb A because its circuit is closed

Answer

Bulb B because its circuit is closed

Answer

Bulb A because it has less volts

Question 10

Question 12

The circuit in this picture has a battery, a light bulb, and three switches. All of the switches are open, and the light bulb is off.

Which of these combination of switches could be closed and cause the light bulb to remain off?

Accepted Answer

Y and Z

Answer

X and Y

Answer

X and Z

Answer

X, Y,, and Z

metal coin

Answer

glass bead

Answer

plastic straw

Answer

wooden toothpick

Question 15

Brayson made the circuit shown here in his science class. What is the most likely reason that the bulb is not lit?

Accepted Answer

He left the switch open.

Answer

The bulb is cracked.

Answer

He did not use the right size battery.

Answer

He used too many pieces of wire.

Question 16

The rubber coating on a wire cord is __________________ because it does not allow electricity to pass through to you.

Accepted Answer

an insulator

Answer

magnetic

Answer

a conductor

Answer

a circuit

Question 17

Accepted Answer

0

Answer

1

Answer

2

Answer

3
