CONCEPT INTRODUCTION AND FACTS: -

Electric Current:
• Current is the rate of flow of electric charge. The SI unit of electric current
is Ampere (A)

Source of electric current:

• A device that can be used to produce an
electric current is called a source of electric
current.
• Common sources of electric current are cells and batteries.
Battery:
• A combination of two or more cells connected together is called a battery.
Cell:
• Cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It has
two metal plates indicating two terminals – Negative and Positive.
Dry cell:
• A dry cell, as its name suggests, contains dry or semisolid ingredients.
• A dry cell is a very convenient source of
electric current.
Switch:
• A device that is used to stop the flow of
electricity by breaking the circuit is called a
switch.
Torch:
• The current passes from the positive terminal through the bulb and returns
back in the negative terminals, making a complete circuit.
• When the switch is moved to the ‘ON’ position, metal piece inside the case
touches the positive terminals of the battery, the circuit is completed and the
torch turns on.
• Move the switch to the off position, the metal piece no longer touches the
positive terminals of the battery and the torch turns off.
Electrical Circuits:
• The Path of flow of electricity from one terminal of the cell and returning
to the other is called an electrical circuit.
Open Electric Circuit:
• An electric circuit through which no electric current flow is known as open
electric circuit.
• The electric circuit will be open circuit if the plug of the key is taken out if
the connecting wires break from any point.
Closed Circuit:
• An electric circuit though which electric current flows continuously are
known as closed circuit.
• For flow of electricity, the circuit must be made of conductors, Insulators
in the path of electrical circuits makes the circuit incomplete.
Electric cells:
• Electrical cells are the sources of electric current.
• Types of electrical cell: (i) Primary (ii) Secondary

Circuit symbols:
• Scientists use certain symbols to draw electrical circuits.
• An electrical circuit drawn using these symbols is called a circuit diagram.
• The symbols used to indicate different components are called circuit
symbols.
Electric tester:
• An electric tester consists of an electric cell, a torch bulb fitted in a holder
and some connecting copper wires.

ACTIVITY (CREATIVE SKILL):

• Students will draw the diagram of a simple circuit on a symmetrical piece
of cardboard. They will label each part and colour it as well.

Conductors.
[Link] we turn the switch on, the circuit is Closed
[Link] in an electric circuit always flows from positive to negative
terminal.
[Link] does not flow in open circuit.
[Link] and rubber are both examples of Insulators.
C. Complete the table:
D. State Whether the following statements are true or false. Correct the
false statement.
1.A conductor does not allow the current to flow through it. - False
(A conductor will allow the current to flow through it)
2. An insulator such as aluminium does not allow the current to flow through
it. - False
(Aluminium will allow the current to flow through it)
3. An electric bulb opens or closes the circuit – False
(A switch opens or closes the circuit)

5. The wires in the bulb react to glow. -False
E. Match the following.
[Link]- Insulator
[Link]- Filament
[Link]- Torch
[Link]- Conductor
[Link]- Filled in bulb
F. Give reasons for each of the following:
[Link] arrows in an electric circuit diagram need to be drawn in a
specific direction.
Ans. Yes, to indicate the conventional direction of current flow.
2. The bulbs in the first circuit will glow less brightly than in the second
one.

This happens because more chemical energy is converted to electrical energy

when two cells are used. Consequently, the flow of electric current is greater.
3. The bulb glows only in the third case and not in first two cases.

In the first case the wire connection is not completed. So, no current flow
through the circuit. In the second case there is no battery. So, no current
flows through the circuit.
4. When not in use, cells should be removed from devices such as the
torch and the camera.
Yes, you should remove cells from devices like a torch or camera when they
are not in use to prevent the batteries from draining or leaking over time,
which can damage the device and reduce the lifespan of the batteries.
5. Argon gas is used to fill an electric bulb.
Yes, argon is filled in electric bulbs to prevent the tungsten filament from
corroding and evaporating.
G. Name the following.
1.A device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
Battery
[Link] end of the cell from where current flows
Positive terminal to the negative terminal

H. Answer the following questions in one word or a sentence
[Link] the material used to make negative terminal of a dry cell.
The negative terminal of a dry cell is made from zinc metal.
[Link] is electricity generated at power stations transmitted to homes
and offices?
Electric current produced from these stations flows to the substations and
then reaches our homes through thick wires on poles known as overhead
wires (power lines).
[Link] energy is converted into heat and light by an electric bulb?
When an electric current passes through an electric bulb, electrical energy is
converted into light and heat energy.
[Link] the device used to Stop or allow the flow of current through a
circuit.
A switch is the device which controls the flow of current through a circuit.
[Link] are the symbols used to draw a circuit diagram called?
The symbols used to draw a circuit diagram are called circuit symbols or
electrical Symbols.
I. Answer the following questions in brief.
[Link] button cells. Name the device in which button cells are used.
A button cell is a small, flat, coin-shaped battery that is used in many small
electronic devices, like watches, remote controls, and toys. Button cells are
also known as watch batteries or coin batteries.
[Link] between conductors and insulators.
A conductor allows current to flow easily through it. Insulators don’t allow
current to flow through it. Electric charges are absent in insulator.
Conductors are used in making electrical equipment.
[Link] between open and closed circuits.
The main difference between an open and closed circuit is that an open
circuit has a broken path for current to flow, while a closed circuit has a
complete path.
4. No current flows in an open circuit. Why?
An open circuit is one in which one of the metal wires is disconnected from
the cell. When the metal wire is disconnected, there is no path for the current
to flow. Hence, electricity cannot flow in an open circuit.
5. Both conductors and insulators are important in electrical appliances.
Explain.
Conductors help us to create an electrical path for the electricity to flow
through it. Insulators are used to protect ourselves from electricity, we can
use insulators which act as a protecting layer. Insulators are also used in
switches which make or break a path for electric current to flow through it.
Thus, insulators give protection against electric shock.
J. Answer the following questions in detail.
[Link] the help of a diagram, describe the inner parts of a dry cell.
A dry cell consists of a zinc container, inside layer is coated with ammonium
chloride paste. A carbon rod, covered with a metal cap, is at the centre of the
cell. The carbon rod is surrounded by a mixture of manganese dioxide and
carbon powder. The cell is covered and protected by a metal casing, except
the metal cap and the base of the zinc container. The metal cap which acts as
positive terminal and the metal base which acts as negative terminal.

2. Can we connect cells in any order to make a battery? Justify your

answer
For the arrangement of cell to form battery, we have to arrange in such a
manner such that there must not be discontinuity in current flow so for this
purpose we place cells side by side and connect one cell negative terminal to
second cell positive terminal which in turn connect with negative terminal of
next cell and in this way, we connect cells to form battery.
[Link] the structure of an electric bulb.
 Bulb consist of a transparent glass covering that encloses a filament.
 The filament is a thin coiled wire made up of tungsten.
 The filament is connected to two thick wires.
 The ends of the wires are connected to the metal base.
 The space between the filament and the glass covering is filled with
argon gas.
 Argon is an inert gas which will not react easily with tungsten.
 When the current flows through the bulb, the filament becomes hot and
it glow.
 The electric energy gets convert it more into light energy and little heat
energy.
4. With symbolic representations, explain the different types of circuits.
Open circuit: - When the switch in the circuit is open, the current does not
flow through the circuit. Such a circuit is called an open circuit.
Closed Circuit: - When the switch in the circuit is closed, the current flows
through the circuit. Such a circuit is called a closed Circuit.

5. Explain the working of an electric torch.

An electric torch is a simple circuit that consists of a bulb, electric cells and a
switch. When switch is in ON position, the metal switch contacts are
connected to complete the circuit and the bulb glows. When the Switch is in
OFF position, the circuit breaks and the bulb stop glowing.
K. Out of the box!
While ironing the clothes using an electric iron, one should never be
bare- footed. Why do you think it is important?
You should never be barefoot while ironing with an electric iron because the
human body is a good conductor of electricity. If you touch an electrical
appliance while barefoot, a large current can pass through your body, leading
to severe shock or even death.
To prevent this, you should wear rubber slippers or shoes when handling
electrical appliances. Rubber acts as an insulator and breaks the circuit to the
ground.
