2. Rubber and wood are good conductors of electricity.
3. Cover of a switch is made up of an insulator.
4. Current flows from the positive terminal of the cell to its negative terminal.
5. Current flows only through a complete path.
6. Handles of electrical appliances are made up of conductors,
7. Air is a good conductor of electricity
8. We should never join the wires connected to two terminals of a cell

LEVEL-2

1.Give some uses of conductors and insulators.

2.What is a conductor? Give examples.
3.What is an insulator? Give a few examples.
4. Why do bulbs have two terminals?
5. A fused bulb does not glow. Why?
6.Paheli wanted to glow a torch bulb using a cell. She could not get connecting wires, instead, she got
two strips of aluminium foil. Will she succeed? Explain, how?
7. What is a filament?
8.Why shouldn’t the two terminals of an electric cell be joined directly?

LEVEL-3

1. Why does a cell stop producing electricity after some time?

2. Why does one remove the plastic coating of connecting wires before making circuits?
3. Why do you have to clean the ends of wires used for making a circuit with sand paper to make
the bulbs shine?
4. An electric bulb is connected to a cell through a switch . When the switch is brought in ‘ON’
position, the bulb does not glow. What could be the possible reason/s for it?
5. Think of six activities which use electric current. Also name the devices used to perform the activity.
