Electricity mcq
The document contains multiple choice and true/false questions about electricity. Some key details:
- Michael Faraday invented electricity and Thomas Edison started the first power plant in 1882 in the US.
- Uranium is split in nuclear power plants to produce electricity. Power grids connect power plants across countries to distribute electricity.
- Substations lower voltage for regional distribution. Fuses stop electric supply in homes during surges.
- Wind farms are places where wind mills generate electricity through rotation of turbines.
- The speed of electricity is 186,000 miles per second. Lightning bolts can reach voltages of 3 million volts.
- CFL bulbs last up to 20 times
Electricity
Electricity was discovered by many scientists through different experiments over time. Natural gas power plants have advantages over coal plants as they are more efficient and pollute less since natural gas does not contain sulfur and produces less pollution when burned. Controlled and careful use of energy is important though its use is unavoidable in daily life.
Metals Questions
The document discusses important facts about metals and their properties. It provides information on different types of metals like gold, aluminum, alkali metals, and tungsten. It also contains 20 multiple choice questions testing understanding of metallic properties, extraction of metals from ores, uses of metals and alloys, and periods in history defined by predominant metal usage. Key points covered include that gold is usually mixed with other metals to increase strength, aluminum is highly abundant and a good conductor, and periods like the Stone Age are named for the most used metal of that time.
Conductors and insulators
Conductors allow electricity to flow through them easily because their outer electrons are loosely bound and can move freely. Metals like copper and aluminum are good conductors. Insulators restrict electron movement and do not conduct electricity well, like plastics and wood. Semi-conductors behave between conductors and insulators. Superconductors have zero resistance and conduct perfectly, but only at very low temperatures below -200°C.
Gravity
- Isaac Newton first described gravity mathematically in 1666 and observed an apple falling from a tree, wondering what force caused it to fall towards Earth.
- Gravity is the force exerted by massive objects like Earth that attracts other objects towards its center. It keeps objects on Earth's surface from floating off into space.
- The strength of the gravitational force depends on the masses and proximity of the objects - larger masses that are closer together experience a stronger gravitational pull.
Solubility
Solubility refers to the ability of a substance, known as the solute, to dissolve in a liquid solvent. Key terms include solute, solvent, and solution. Solubility depends on factors like temperature, pressure, and the specific chemical nature of the substances. For example, solubility of solids in liquids generally increases with temperature while solubility of gases decreases as temperature increases. Solubility also tends to increase with higher pressure for gases dissolving in liquids. Substances are considered soluble, insoluble, or partially soluble depending on the degree to which they dissolve in a particular solvent.
Atoms and molecules
- An atom is the smallest unit of an element, and two or more atoms bonded together form a molecule. Molecules can be made of two or more identical atoms (such as oxygen, O2), or different elements (such as water, H2O).
- A compound is a molecule consisting of different types of atoms, while an element is made of only one type of atom. Common compounds include water, carbon dioxide, and table sugar.
- Molecular formulas use symbols to represent the elements and subscripts to show the number of atoms in a molecule, such as H2O for a water molecule. The number and type of atoms can vary between molecules of the same substance.

Animal life mcq
This document discusses different characteristics of animal life. It mentions physical attributes such as webbed fins, scales, gills, and proboscis that are seen in aquatic animals. It also references hands and spiracles that are found in land animals. The document briefly touches on different diets like omnivores, herbivores, and carnivores. It concludes by stating this relates to topics like migration, habitat, and whether an animal is a herbivore, carnivore, or mammal.
Computer
The document discusses the history and types of computers. It notes that the first computer was invented at the University of Pennsylvania and that IBM created the first computer operating system in 1985. It describes microcomputers as small, inexpensive personal computers, with the first being the Altair in 1973. Mini computers were larger than micros and used in banks and universities, with the first being the PDP-1 in 1960. Mainframe computers were the largest and most powerful initially, with the first being the Harvard Mark I in 1946. Supercomputers then emerged as the most powerful for applications like weather forecasting, with the first being the CDC 6600 designed by Seymour Cray. The document also lists common computer parts like the keyboard, mouse
Layers of earth
There are four main layers that make up the structure of the Earth - the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the outermost solid rock layer that makes up only 1% of the Earth's volume. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which constitutes 85% of the Earth's mass and has an upper and lower section with the lower mantle existing as liquid rock. At the center are the outer core, made up of liquid iron and nickel, and the solid inner core composed of iron and nickel crystals.
