Switches, Conductors and Insulators

The video tutorial explains the function and types of switches, demonstrating how to build a simple switch using household items. It guides viewers through creating a circuit to understand how switches control the flow of electricity. The tutorial also explores the components of a torch and how its circuit works. It distinguishes between conductors and insulators, providing a method to test materials using a homemade tester. The video emphasizes safety by advising against testing materials connected to an electric source.

What is the primary function of a light switch in an electrical circuit?

• To reduce electricity consumption

• To change the color of the light

• To turn lights and fans on or off

• To increase the voltage

What happens to the circuit when the switch is in the off position?

• The circuit explodes

• The circuit is incomplete and the bulb does not glow

• The circuit changes direction

• The circuit is complete and the bulb glows

Which component is NOT part of the torch's electric circuit?

• Slide switch

• Torch bulb

• Thermacole sheet

• Electric cell

What are materials called that allow electric current to pass through them?

• Capacitors

• Conductors

• Insulators

• Resistors

Which of the following is a good insulator?

• Iron

• Plastic

• Aluminum

• Copper

What should you avoid doing with the tester?

• Using it to test materials around the house

• Using it to test materials already connected to an electric source

• Using it to test insulators

• Using it to test conductors

What is the purpose of the tester described in the video?

• To measure the voltage of a battery

• To test the conductivity of materials

• To increase the brightness of a bulb

• To change the color of a light bulb
