Flow of Electricity Practice (5.6B)

Which statement best explains why copper is useful in constructing electrical circuits?

• It can be turned into wire and it can be used to form a complete path for electrical

• It can be turned into wire and it cab be used to prevent electrical current from passing

• When electrical current passes through it, the current turns into heat, light, and sound.

• When electrical current passes through it, the copper increases the amount of current

Which of the following sets of items could be used to make a complete circuit that produces light?

• Battery, copper wires, switch

• copper wires, light bulb, bell

• battery, copper wires, light bulb

• copper wires, switch, bell

Which of the following is necessary for electricity to flow through an electric circuit?

• The wires must be insulated.

• The path of the electricity must be complete

• At least two batteries must be used.

• A switch must be used to allow the flow.

A student assembles a circuit for science class. Which of the following best explains why the bulb is not lit in this circuit?

• The battery is not long enough to connect the wires.

• Wire X needs to be connected to the top of the battery.

• A third wire should be added from the bottom of the battery to the bulb.

• A second battery needs to be added to the circuit.

An electric circuit is shown below. If both bulbs are lit, which of the following is true?

• Both item X and item Y are made of metal

• Item X is made of metal and item Y is made of plastic.

• Both item X and item Y are made of plastic.

• Item X is made of plastic and item Y is made of metal.

A battery is attached to a buzzer with wire as shown. The buzzer will make noise only when-

• another wire connects the buzzer to the battery

• the battery is replaced with a stronger one

• a switch that can open and close is added

• the wire is replace with a longer one.

A student attached the parts as shown here and the bulb did not light. The most likely reason the bulb does not light is because-

• A batteries can't provide electric energy

• the flow of electricity can't make a bulb light

• the switch must be open for electricity to flow

• yarn does not conduct electricity
