Class 6 Science Chapter 9 MCQ

In an electric bulb, it’s thin filament glows and gives off light and heat.

A single electric cell usually provides only 1.5 volt of electricity whereas the electricity from power stations which is used in our homes is at 220 volts. It will get fused if it is connected to the path of 220 electric volts because a torch bulb will normally work on 4.5-volt electricity.

Filament of a torch bulb is a thin wire which gives off light. It is fixed to two thicker wires which provides support to it

Those material which do not allow electric current to pass through them are called insulators. The outer covering of electric wires is made of plastic because plastic is an insulator. Plastic covering does not allow electric current to pass through it. Insulators are used for safety and protect us from getting electrical shocks.

Actually, insulators are non-conductors of electricity. Mica, rubber, plastics (like polythene, bakelite, PVC), ceramics, asbestos, glass, cotton, wax, thermocol etc., are the examples of insulators.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

When electricity or electric current from the cell passes through the filament of the bulb, the filament gets heated too much. The “heating effect produced by electricity” from the cell which makes a torch bulb work and produce light.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

When all the chemicals are in electric cells are used up, the electric cell stops producing electricity.

Those materials which allow electric current to pass through them are called conductors. All the metals are conductors of electricity. Silver metal is a best conductor of electricity. Copper, aluminium, brass metals are also good conductors. And also a non-metal called carbon (in the form of graphite) is also a conductor of electricity.

Rubber, plastic and ceramics are often used to protect us from the dangerous of electricity because they are good insulators. Electrician wear rubber gloves and hand gloves while handling naked electric wires because rubber is a good insulator and protects them for electric shocks.

An electric circuit is a path along which electricity can flow. The electric circuit in which there is no gap in the connection between the terminals of the cell wires and bulb etc., is called a complete circuit and closed circuit.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

In an electric bulb, it’s thin “filament glows” and gives off light and heat which is made of tungsten. Tungsten, or wolfram (w), is a rare metal found naturally on Earth almost exclusively combined with other elements in chemical compounds rather than alone. It was identified as a new element in 1781 and first isolated as a metal in 1783.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

There are some electrical appliances which need small amount of energy or electric (as battery or cell) to run. Such as torch, radio set, mobile phone, hair trimmer, calculator, wrist watch and so many. Television, refrigerator, washing machines, drilling machines, hair dryer, table fan, room heater, mixer and grinder etc. runs in domestic electricity which is 220 volts.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

There is only energy which name is electrical energy or current which is converted into to mechanical energy, sound energy, heat energy and light energy very easily. As a example, when we turn on the switch of any machines (where electrical energy convert to mechanical energy), when we press the door bell (where electrical energy convert to sound energy), when we do switched “on” for electric bulb, it starts giving light and filament gets heated too (where electrical energy convert to heat energy and light energy).

The positive terminal of one cell is always kept in contact with the negative terminal of the different cell.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all the statements are incorrect. Hence, your answer will be option [D]. In option [A]: A non-metal called carbon in the form of graphite is also a conductor of electricity. In option [B]: The human body is also conductor of electricity but in a small extent. In option [C]: Distilled water do not conduct electricity because it has no impurities.

Here, all the statements are incorrect. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The human body does not conduct electricity as good as metal but the human body conducts electricity to a small extent. A person gets electric shock on touching uncovered electric wire carrying current because some electric current passes through his body. As example, electricians are also human beings, so they wear rubber gloves and hand gloves while handling naked electrical wires because rubber is a good insulator and protects them for from electric socks.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The electric cell is a cylindrical device having a small metal cap on one side and a metal disc on the other side. The electric cell has two terminals: a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The metal cap is positive terminal of the electric cell whereas metal disc is the negative terminal of the electric cell.
