Here are 10 one-word answer type questions from the topic Symbols of Electric Components with their answers and explanations:
Topic: Symbols of Electric Components
To make electric circuits easy to understand, each electric component is represented by a specific symbol. These symbols help in drawing circuit diagrams quickly and clearly without drawing actual pictures of components.
1. Question: What is used to represent electric components in a circuit diagram?
Answer: Symbols
Explanation: Electric components are represented by specific symbols to make circuit diagrams easy to draw and understand.
2. Question: What is the symbol with one long line and one short thick line used to represent?
Answer: Cell
Explanation: A cell is represented by a long line (positive terminal) and a short thick line (negative terminal) in a circuit diagram.
3. Question: What is the combination of two or more cells called?
Answer: Battery
Explanation: When two or more electric cells are connected, the combination is called a battery.
4. Question: What does a straight line represent in a circuit diagram?
Answer: Wire
Explanation: In a circuit diagram, a straight line is used to represent a connecting wire.
5. Question: What component is shown by a circle with a cross inside it in a circuit diagram?
Answer: Bulb
Explanation: A circle with a cross inside is the symbol used to represent an electric bulb.
6. Question: What is shown by a break in the line in a circuit diagram?
Answer: Switch
Explanation: A break in the line with a dot indicates a switch in the ‘OFF’ position in the circuit.
7. Question: What is represented by two dots connected by a line in a circuit diagram?
Answer: Switch
Explanation: Two dots connected by a line show a switch in the ‘ON’ position.
8. Question: What part of a cell is shown by a longer line in the symbol?
Answer: Positive
Explanation: The longer line in the cell symbol represents the positive terminal.
9. Question: What part of a cell is shown by a shorter thick line in the symbol?
Answer: Negative
Explanation: The shorter and thicker line in the symbol of a cell shows the negative terminal.
10. Question: What do we call a drawing made using the symbols of electric components?
Answer: Circuit
Explanation: A circuit diagram is drawn using the symbols of electric components to show how they are connected.
