Questions Related to liquids conduct electricity

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

Which of the following would show deflection in the compass needle, the moment you dip the free ends of the tester?

  1. Tap water, vinegar

  2. Tap water, vegetable oil

  3. Tap water, honey

  4. Vegetable oil, honey
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Tap water and vinegar are good conductors of electricity and hence, the compass needle could show deflection.

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

What happens when the current passing through the circuit is too weak?

  1. The filament does not get heated sufficiently and the bulb does not glow.

  2. The filament gets heated but the bulb does not glow.

  3. The filament does not get heated but the bulb glows.

  4. The filament gets heated and the bulb glows.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

When the current through the circuit is too weak, the filament does not get heated sufficiently and the bulb does not glow.

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

Which of the following statement(s) is correct while conducting electricity through vegetable oil?

  1. The liquid (vegetable oil) allows the electric current to pass through. Since, it is a good conductor of electricity.

  2. The circuit of the tester is complete but the bulb does not glow.

  3. The circuit of the tester is not complete and hence the bulb does not glow.

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

When the liquid (vegetable oil) does not allow the electric current to pass, the circuit of the tester is not complete and the bulb does not glow.

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

It is not safe to carry out electrical repair works outdoor during rain because :

  1. rainwater is a good conductor of electricity

  2. rainwater contains mineral salts

  3. rainwater is a poor conductor of electricity

  4. both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

It is not safe to carry out electrical repair works outdoor during rain because it contains small amounts of mineral salts naturally present in it. This water is thus a good conductor of electricity.

Multiple choice physics electrical conductivity of liquids does liquid conduct electricity? liquids conduct electricity do liquids conduct electricity?

When the free ends of a tester are dipped into a solution, the magnetic needle shows deflection due to:

  1. electrical effect

  2. mechanical effect

  3. magnetic effect

  4. lighting effect
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

When the free ends of a tester are dipped into a solution, the magnetic needle shows deflection due to magnetic effect . This magnetic effect is produced by electric current, passing through it.
