LO5 - What is Energy - Electricity Quiz Yr 5

What type of energy runs the following objects?

fridge, vacuum cleaner, radio

• Light

• Sound

• Electricity

• Kinetic / Movement

Which object is a source of electricity?

• Wire

• Battery

• Bulb

• Bulb Holder

Look at the following circuit.

What needs to be done to make the bulb light up?

• The battery needs to be facing the other way.

• Both wires need to be connected to the negative side (-) of the battery.

• The wire on the left needs to be connected to the positive side (+) of the battery.

• Leave it as it is. Do not touch it!

Ryan has built an electrical circuit with a lightbulb connected to a battery. He tests out different objects in the gap in order to complete the circuit. Which object will allow the bulb to light up?

• A metal spoon.

• A piece of wood.

• A plastic ruler.

• A piece of cardboard.

In Summer, we often use fans to stay cool.

The rotation of the fan blades is an example of what type of energy?

• Sound energy

• Movement energy/Kinetic

• Heat energy/Thermal

• Sound energy

All of the following are examples demonstrating heat energy EXCEPT –

• An oven cooking food.

• An electric kettle.

• A heater.

• A girl reading a book.

When a light bulb lights up, electrical energy is converted into light energy. Another type of energy is also created.

This is:

• Solar energy

• Movement/Kinetic energy

• Heat energy

• Sound energy

Thomas decides to build an electrical circuit.

Instead of a light bulb, he uses a buzzer.

The buzzer converts electrical energy from the battery into:

• Light energy

• Sound energy

• Electric energy

• Movement/Kinetic energy

Brenda builds her circuit with wires, a battery and a fan connected to a motor.

She notices that the fan turns clockwise.

How can she change the fan’s direction and make it turn anticlockwise instead?

• She can use a stronger battery.

• She can use longer wires.

• She can flip the wires connected to the battery.

• She can add another fan.

What is used to convert the energy from the sun into electrical energy?

• Solar panels

• Solar systems

• Solar power

• Solar body
