Electricity

A material that does not allow electricity to flow through it is called a(n) --

• insulator

• conductor

• circuit

• dry cell

According to this list, what is the student most likely investigating?

• how circuits work

• types of conductors

• insulating materials

• charged particles

Which materials are good conductors?

• A

• B

• C

• D

This simple circuit allows electricity to flow because it --

• is closed

• is open

• has a light bulb

• contains iron

The lightbulb in the diagram will NOT turn on because --

• there is an opening in the circuit

• lightbulbs do not turn on in a closed circuit

• there is not enough static electricity for the bulb

• the wires are insulators
