Question 1.

If you pass current through copper sulphate solution, copper gets deposited
on the plate connected to the __________terminal of the battery.

1. Positive
2. Negative
3. Both
4. None of these

Question 2. Which one of the following is a good conductor of electricity?

1. copper
2. wood
3. distilled water
4. none of these

Question 3.Electric current produces ______________field.

1. chemical
2. magnetic
3. physical
4. complex
5.
Question 4. Why rubber and plastics do not conduct electricity?

Question 5. Tap water is considered a good conductor of electricity. Why?

Question 6. Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity. Justify.

Question 7 If a small amount of sugar is added to distilled water, will the resulting
solution be a good conductor or a poor conductor of electricity? Explain why.

Question 8. . When the free ends of the tester are dipped into a chemical solution, the
magnetic needle shows deflection. Can you give the reason?

Question 9. A child living in the coastal region tests the drinking water and seawater
with his tester. He finds that the compass needle deflects more in the case of seawater.
Can you explain the reason behind it?
Question 10. An electric current can produce

(a) the heating effect only.

(b) the chemical effect only.

(c) the magnetic effect only.

(d) chemical, heating, and magnetic effects.

Question 11. In a circuit, Boojho observed that copper is deposited on the electrode
connected to the battery’s negative terminal. Paheli also repeats the same experiment.
But she finds only one copper plate. Therefore she takes a carbon rod as the negative
electrode. Will copper still be deposited on the carbon rod? Explain your answer.

Question 12. What should be done to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen?

Question 13. What is the common use of the chemical effect of electric current?

Question 14. Which is the polluting waste generated by electroplating factories?
