8.

What would happen if the switch was taken out of the circuit shown and the wires attached to the switch were connected?

a)

Wires would disappear

b)

Light bulb would stay on

c)

Light bulb would go off

d)

Battery would produce more electricity

9.

Graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity. What will most likely happen if the graphite part of a pencil is placed in the circuit, closing the circuit?

a)

The light bulb will turn on because graphite insulates electricity when combined with copper wire.

b)

The light bulb will not turn on because the wood in the pencil will cancel out the conductivity of the graphite.

c)

The light bulb will not turn on because the graphite part of the pencil is too narrow to allow electricity to flow through it.

d)

The light bulb will turn on because the graphite will allow electricity to flow through it.

10.

Your Mom was cooking dinner. In order to not get burned, she chose a pot with a handle made of..

a)

metal because it does not catch on fire as quickly as wood

b)

plastic because it is a good conductor of heat.

c)

metal, because it is a good conductor of heat

d)

plastic, because it is not a good conductor if heat

11.
