PSC-4011-2—w/ Yaw--------------------------------------------------------------quiz -------------------------------------------------------------------------Electricity (2-5) Name: Date: 1. State the truth value of the followings(true(T) or false(F)) True or False Statement a Electrons flow from positive to negative terminal of the power supply. b d If the electromotive force powering the circuit is increased, the resistance will also increase The voltage difference between the ends of a power source represents the energy loss experienced by the charges flowing through them Resistance is inversely proportional to temperature in a semi conductor e The humidity of your skin can influence your reaction to an electric shock. f It is absolutely safe to fill an iron with water without first unplugging it. g h The danger associated to inserting a metal utensil into a plugged-in toaster is an old wives’ tale. The lower the AWG number the lower the current that can pass through the wire. i With alternating current, you have to touch two electric conductors to get a shock. j The distribution panel has 3 bus bars which correspond to the 3 wires with different potentials. k The main contains only two live wires. l The voltaic cell was composed of silver, wet cardboard and Zincs m The Power of an electric generator can be increased by increasing the rotation of the conductor coil in the magnetic field. n Rotor is the rotating part of a generator. o In an electric motor, the mechanical rotation of the conductor coil in the magnetic field produces an electromotive force in the coil. p The stationary part of an electric motor is called the stator. q An electric motor converts rotational mechanical energy into electricity: c Yaw D.

A lightning rod is usually a long metal rod placed on the roof of a building and connected to ground by a conducting wire buried in the ground. Explain how it can protect a building against lightning. 9. After combing her afro (long hair) for some time, Merlin notices that his comb is able to lift a piece of paper and keep it hanging for a while. Using the knowledge acquired in this module of physical science, explain what is going on. Yaw D.
