Q1 - Tick (✓) the objects that use mains electricity.



We are given six images:

1. Electric kettle Uses mains electricity (plugged into a wall socket).
2. Candle Does not use electricity; it burns fuel (wax).
3. Washing machine Uses mains electricity.
4. Remote control Usually runs on batteries, not mains electricity.
5. Microwave oven Uses mains electricity.
6. Flashlight (torch) Powered by batteries, not mains electricity.

Correct answers to tick:
- Electric kettle
- Washing machine
- Microwave oven

> So, tick the boxes under:
> - Kettle
> - Washing machine
> - Microwave

Q2 - Label the different parts of an electrical circuit below.



The five components shown are:

1. Light bulb in a holderBulb
*(It emits light when current flows through it)*

2. MotorMotor
*(Converts electrical energy into motion)*

3. BatteryBattery
*(Provides electrical energy; source of power)*

4. BellBell
*(Makes sound when current flows through it)*

5. Wires with clipsWires / Connecting wires
*(Carry electric current between components)*

> Labels:
> 1. Bulb
> 2. Motor
> 3. Battery
> 4. Bell
> 5. Wires

Q3 - Are these materials electrical conductors or insulators? Complete the table.



| Material | Conductor | Insulator |
|--------|----------|-----------|
| Wood | | |
| Brass | | |
| Plastic | | |
| Glass | | |
| Paper | | |
| Copper | | |
| Silver | | |
| Chalk | | |

#### Explanation:

- Conductors: Materials that allow electricity to flow easily.
- Brass – Metal alloy → conducts electricity
- Copper – Excellent conductor
- Silver – Best conductor among metals

- Insulators: Materials that resist electricity flow.
- Wood – Doesn’t conduct electricity
- Plastic – Common insulator (used in wires)
- Glass – Insulator (used in bulbs and insulators)
- Paper – Insulator (dry paper doesn’t conduct)
- Chalk – Made of calcium carbonate, insulating

> Note: Some materials like wet wood or damp paper may conduct slightly, but in general science terms, they're classified as insulators.
