Electrical Circuits Quiz

Which type of energy powers a light bulb?

• electrical

• solar

• water

• wind

Jeremy puts a battery into a flashlight. The battery will store energy until Jeremy needs to power the flashlight. Which statement explains what occurs when the circuit is completed within the flashlight?

• The chemical energy in the battery is converted into thermal energy.

• The thermal energy in the battery is converted into electrical energy.

• The chemical energy in the battery is converted into electrical energy.

• The electrical energy in the battery is converted into chemical energy.

This is a closed circuit. Which set of statements best describes the flow of energy in this circuit?

• Chemical energy in the battery transfers into electrical energy through the wire to the light bulb. The electrical energy transfers to light energy in the bulb and then to electrical energy which flows back to the battery.

• Thermal energy in the battery transfers into electrical energy through the wire to the light bulb. The electrical energy transfers to light energy in the bulb and then to electrical energy which flows back to the battery.

• Mechanical energy in the battery transfers into light energy through the wire to the light bulb. Light energy transfers to electrical energy in the bulb and then to chemical energy which flows back to the battery.

• Electromagnetic energy in the battery transfers into light energy through the wire to the light bulb. Light energy transfers to electrical energy in the bulb and then to mechanical energy which flows back to the battery.

Which type of energy most likely requires a wire and a power source to flow?

• kinetic energy

• thermal energy

• electrical energy

• mechanical energy

Which best describes why most materials do not easily conduct an electrical charge?

• They lack free electron shells.

• They lack free electrons.

• They lack free neutrons.

• They lack free protons.
