Question 1 The better conductor of electricity is: copper carbon silicon aluminium Question 2 Silicon in its pure form

is: a conductor an insulator a superconductor a semiconductor Question 3 Three good electrical conductors are: copper, gold, mica gold, silver, wood gold, silver, aluminium copper, aluminium, paper Question 4 These magnetic poles repel: unlike like positive negative Question 5 In a p-type semiconductor, the current carriers are: photons electrons positive ions holes Question 6 The following is a source of electrical energy: p-channel FET Transistor carbon resistor germanium diode lead acid battery Question 7 This material is better for making a permanent magnet: steel copper aluminium soft iron

Question 8 An important difference between a common torch battery and a lead acid battery is that only the lead acid battery: has two terminals contains an electrolyte can be re-charged can be effectively discharged Question 9 An atom that loses an electron becomes: a positive ion an isotope a negative ion a radioactive atom Question 10 An electric current passing through a wire will produce around the conductor: an electric field a magnetic field an electrostatic field nothing Question 11 As temperature increases, the resistance of a metallic conductor: increases decreases remains constant becomes negative Question 12 An element which falls somewhere between being an insulator and a conductor is called a: P-type conductor intrinsic conductor semiconductor N-type conductor Question 13 The term describing opposition to electron flow in a metallic circuit is: current voltage resistance power Question 14 Four good electrical insulators are: plastic, rubber, wood, carbon glass, wood, copper, porcelain paper, glass, air, aluminium glass, air, plastic, porcelain

Question 15 The plastic coating formed around wire is: an insulator a conductor an inductor a magnet Question 16 In an atom: the protons and the neutrons orbit the nucleus in opposite directions the protons orbit around the neutrons the electrons orbit the nucleus the electrons and the neutrons orbit the nucleus Question 17 The substance which will most readily allow an electric current to flow is: an insulator a conductor a resistor a dielectric Question 18 In an n-type semiconductor, the current carriers are: holes electrons positive ions photons Question 19 An electrical insulator: lets electricity flow through it in one direction does not let electricity flow through it lets electricity flow through it when light shines on it lets electricity flow through it Question 20 The name for the flow of electrons in an electric circuit is: voltage resistance capacitance current
