How electricity flows through different mediums

b)

How electricity is stored only in batteries

c)

How electricity cannot move through any materials

d)

How electricity flow is identical in all materials

4.

Which statement best defines electricity?

a)

Energy from moving heat between objects

b)

A form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles

c)

Force produced by magnets only

d)

Light created by chemical reactions

5.

According to the vocabulary, what are electrons in solids primarily responsible for?

a)

Carrying positive charge through atoms

b)

Acting as the primary carrier of electricity

c)

Holding the nucleus together

d)

Producing light in all materials

6.

A student wants to increase the amount of electricity flowing through a simple circuit. Which quantity are they trying to increase?

a)

Resistance

b)

Current

c)

Charge

d)

Voltage

7.

Which statement best defines a conductor in electrical terms?

a)

A material that blocks electric current from flowing

b)

A substance or material that allows electricity to flow through it

c)

A device that stores electrical energy for later use

d)

A material that conducts only when exposed to light

8.

You are choosing a material to coat a wire so that electric current does not flow freely to your hand. Which type of material should you select?

a)

Conductor

b)

Insulator

c)

Semiconductor

d)

Power source

9.

A phone’s microchip works because some parts conduct electricity only under certain conditions. Which term describes this kind of material?

a)

Conductor

b)

Insulator

c)

Semiconductor

10.

Voltage (measured in volts) is defined as which of the following?

a)

The force that pushes electric current through a circuit

b)

The total electrical energy stored in a battery

c)

The rate at which energy is used by a device

d)

The amount of electric charge in a wire

11.

Amperage (measured in amps) refers to what?

a)

The resistance to current in a circuit

b)

The force that moves charges

c)

The amount of electric current flowing through a circuit

d)

The voltage drop across a component

12.

A student increases the voltage applied to a simple circuit while keeping resistance the same. Based on the definitions provided, which outcome is most likely for the current (amperage)?

a)

It increases because a greater push drives more current.

b)

It decreases because voltage and current move in opposite directions.

c)

It stays the same because voltage does not affect current.

d)

It becomes zero because high voltage stops current flow.

13.

b)

Only the power source that provides voltage

c)

The path that splits current into multiple branches
