In your uploaded 5th Standard EVS book (Looking Around), there is no direct chapter on “Electric Cell”.
However, in Chapter 12 – “What if it finishes…?”, there is a part where it talks about petrol, diesel, LPG, coal, electricity, and energy sources, including electric cell and battery.
So, I will now prepare 10 one-word answer type questions based on the information related to Electric Cell & Electricity from this chapter, along with answers and explanations with each question (attached to each), as you requested.
One-word Answer Type Questions – Electric Cell (from Class 5 EVS Chapter 12)
1. Question: What is used to run a torch when there is no electricity?
• Answer: Cell
• Explanation: A small electric cell is used in a torch to produce electricity when there is no power.
2. Question: What is the combination of two or more cells called?

• Explanation: When two or more electric cells are joined together, it is called a battery, which gives more power.
3. Question: Which part of the electric cell is marked with a plus sign?
• Answer: Positive
• Explanation: The top part (metal cap) of the cell has a positive (+) mark which shows the positive terminal.
4. Question: Which part of the electric cell is marked with a minus sign?
• Answer: Negative
• Explanation: The flat metal base of the cell has a negative (-) mark which shows the negative terminal.
5. Question: What is produced when an electric cell is connected in a circuit?
• Answer: Electricity
• Explanation: When the positive and negative terminals are connected by wires, electricity flows in the circuit.
6. Question: What is required to complete the path of electricity flow?
• Answer: Circuit
• Explanation: A circuit is a complete path made by wires and devices that allow electric current to flow.
7. Question: What happens when the electric cell gets exhausted?
• Answer: Stops
• Explanation: When all the chemicals inside the cell are used up, it stops producing electricity.
8. Question: What is covered by plastic or rubber in a wire to prevent shock?
• Answer: Insulator
• Explanation: An insulator like plastic or rubber is used to cover electric wires to prevent electric shock.
9. Question: What do we call the metal part on the top of the electric cell?
• Answer: Cap
• Explanation: The metal part on the top of the cell is called the cap, which is the positive terminal.
10. Question: What do we call the flat metal part at the bottom of the electric cell?
• Answer: Base
• Explanation: The flat metal part at the bottom of the cell is called the base, which is the negative terminal.
If you want, I can prepare the same in a worksheet format with a heading and space for writing answers for your students.
Shall I prepare that too?
