• Metal

• Plastic

• Glass

• Rubber

Why is it important to follow safety measures when dealing with electricity?

• To prevent accidents, injuries, and fatalities.

• To impress others with your bravery

• To increase energy consumption

• To make the task more challenging

What is electric current?

• Electric current is the flow of heat through a conductor.

• Electric current is the flow of air through a conductor.

• Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.

• Electric current is the flow of water through a conductor.

How is electric current measured?

• Using a voltmeter connected in parallel in the circuit.

• Counting the number of electrons passing through a wire.

• Using an ammeter connected in series in the circuit.

• Measuring the temperature of the conductor.

Name two common sources of electricity.

• Wind and solar

• Coal and natural gas

• Geothermal and biomass

• Hydroelectric and nuclear

What is renewable energy?

• Renewable energy is energy that harms the environment

• Renewable energy is energy derived from natural resources that are replenished on a human timescale.

• Renewable energy is energy that depletes natural resources

• Renewable energy is energy derived from non-renewable sources

How can we conserve electricity in our daily lives?

• Leaving all lights and appliances on 24/7

• Running multiple appliances simultaneously

• By turning off lights and appliances when not in use, unplugging chargers, using energy-efficient appliances, and limiting the use of air conditioning and heating.

• Using outdated, energy-guzzling appliances
