ELECTRIC CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS

The topic “Electric Conductors and Insulators” is not available in the PDF you shared. Your textbook mostly covers topics like food, water, shelter, travel, animals, farming, and environment.

However, since this topic is part of Class 5 EVS or Science syllabus, I will still prepare 10 one-word answer type questions along with answers and explanations immediately for your teaching purpose, in the format you want.

Topic: Electric Conductors and Insulators

1. Question:

What is the name of the material that allows electricity to pass through?

Answer: Conductor

Explanation: Conductors are materials through which electric current can flow easily.

2. Question:

What is the name of the material that does not allow electricity to pass?

Answer: Insulator

Explanation: Insulators are materials that stop the flow of electric current.

3. Question:

Which metal is commonly used to make electrical wires?

Answer: Copper

Explanation: Copper is a good conductor of electricity and is used in electric wires.

4. Question:

What is used to cover electrical wires for safety?

Answer: Plastic

Explanation: Plastic is an insulator and is used to cover wires to protect from electric shocks.

5. Question:

Which metal is used in electric plugs and sockets?

Answer: Brass

Explanation: Brass is a good conductor of electricity, so it is used in electric plugs and sockets.

6. Question:

What material is used in making the handle of an electric iron?

Answer: Wood

Explanation: Wood is an insulator, so it is used in handles to avoid electric shocks.

7. Question:

Which liquid is a conductor of electricity?

Answer: Water

Explanation: Water, especially when impure, conducts electricity.

8. Question:

What is the material of electric pole wires?

Answer: Aluminium

Explanation: Aluminium is a light metal and a good conductor of electricity, so it is used in electric pole wires.

9. Question:

What is wrapped around an electric wire along with plastic for extra safety?

Answer: Rubber

Explanation: Rubber is an insulator and is wrapped around wires to prevent shocks.

10. Question:

What kind of material is glass in terms of electric conductivity?

Answer: Insulator

Explanation: Glass does not allow electric current to pass and is used as an insulator.

If you want, I can prepare similar Fill in the Blanks, True/False, Match the Following, Worksheet Format from this topic too.

Shall I prepare that?
