Answer key

1. b
2. a
3. c
4. c
5. (a) (iv), (b) (iii), (c) (ii), (d) (v), (e) (i).
6. (a) Battery (b) switch (c) negative, positive (d) good (e) bulb.
7. Nichrome is an alloy having high resistivity. The melting point of nichrome is also very
high. So, nichrome is used as coil in electric heater.
8. Fuse is a safety device made up of alloy having low melting point. It is connected in
series in the circuit. It protects the circuit and electrical appliances in case of excess of
current in the circuit.
9. A cell is a device that creates potential difference in the circuit to flow the current in
the circuit. Combination of two or more cell in series is called a battery.
10. (a) Electric circuit
(b) Battery or cell
(c) Short circuit
(d) Fuse
(e) Electromagnet.
