Very Short Answer Questions 1 Mark

1. Which one of the following is a good conductor of electricity?

A. copper
B. wood
C. distilled water
D. none of these
Ans. A. Copper is a good conductor of electricity.

2. Electric current produces ______________field.


A. chemical

B. magnetic
C. physical

D. complex
Ans. B. Magnetic field is produced by Electric current

3. The path through which an electric current flows is called ___________.

A. electric path
B. electric relay

Class VIII Science www.vedantu.com 1


C. short circuit
D. electric circuit
Ans. D. Electric circuit is the path through which an electric current flows.

4. What is the full form of LED?

A. Light Emitting Diode

B. Light Electricity Device


C. Large Emitting Device

D. Large Electricity Diode


Ans. A. Light Emitting Diode is a device which converts electrical energy into light
energy.

5. If you pass current through copper sulphate solution, copper gets deposited
on the plate connected to the __________terminal of the battery.
A. Positive

B. Negative
C. Both

D. None of these
Ans. B. Negative terminal of the battery attracts Copper ions and hence copper will
get deposited on the plate

6. Give any two examples of good conductors of electricity.


Ans. All metals (example gold, copper, iron, etc.) are good conductors of electricity.

7. Give any two examples of insulators.
Ans. Examples of insulators are rubber, wood, plastic, etc.

8. Give examples of any two electrolytes.


Ans. Examples of two electrolytes are copper sulphate and sodium chloride.

9. Name any two metals used for electroplating.


Ans. Gold, silver, chromium are the metals used for electroplating

Short Answer Question 3 Marks

10. Define electroplating.


Ans. Electroplating is the process of depositing a layer of any desired metal on
another material using electricity.

11. Write one use of electroplating.


Ans. Electroplating is mostly used in industry to coat metal products with a thin
layer of a different metal that has greater value.

12. Why rubber and plastics do not conduct electricity?


Ans. Because they do not enable electric current to pass through them, rubber and
plastics do not conduct electricity. Plastics and rubber act as insulators.

13. Write a short note on electrical testers.

Class VIII Science www.vedantu.com 3


Ans. An electrical tester is a piece of electronic test equipment that is used to identify
whether or not there is an electric voltage present in the device being tested. It can
also be used to see if a liquid enables electric current to pass through it.

14. Why is it right to say poor conductors instead of bad conductors?


Ans. Because most materials can conduct electricity under certain conditions, it is
more accurate to refer to them as poor conductors rather than lousy conductors or
insulators.

15. Describe the functioning of a LED.


Ans. LED stands for light-emitting diode, and it is used to detect weak current in a
circuit. A LED has two wires linked to it, one of which is slightly longer than the
other. The longer lead is always connected to the positive terminal of the battery,
while the shorter lead is always connected to the negative terminal.

16. Tap water is considered as a good conductor. Why?


Ans. Since tap water is not pure, it does include many mineral salts that are naturally
dissolved in it, making it a good conductor.

17. Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity. Justify.


Ans. The purest type of water is distilled water. There are no salts or dissolved
contaminants in it. As a result, it is a poor electrical conductor.

18. What is the purpose of one long and another shorter lead of a LED?
Ans. The objective of having one long and one shorter LED lead is to ensure that
the longer lead is constantly connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the
shorter lead is always linked to the negative terminal.

19. If a small amount of sugar is added to distilled water, the resulting solution
will be a good conductor or poor conductor of electricity? Explain why.
Ans. Sugar, as a non-electrolyte material, does not create ions when dissolved in
water, making it a poor conductor. A sugar solution comprises sucrose molecules
but no ions. A sugar aqueous solution is a non-electricity conductor fluid because it
lacks ions.

20. Define electromagnetic induction.


Ans. The induced current flowing through the coil in a circuit is always in opposition
to the magnet's motion. Electromagnetic induction is the process of producing
induced current as a result of a changing magnetic field.

21. State the properties of chromium.


Ans. Chromium has the following characteristics:
a. It is lustrous;

b. It is non-corrosive; and
c. It is scratch resistant.

22. It is advisable to cut the electric supply before putting water over a fire
caused due to electricity. Why?
Ans. If not distilled, water is an excellent conductor of electricity. If poured on a fire
generated by electricity, it may exacerbate the situation, resulting in accidents. As a
result, before putting water on a fire caused by electricity, it is a good idea to turn
off the power.

Long Answer Questions 5 Marks


23. With an experiment explain the process of electroplating.

Class VIII Science www.vedantu.com 5


Ans. Copper sulphate and two copper plates (about 10 cm x 4 cm) are required. In a
clean and dry beaker, pour 250 mL of distilled water. Two teaspoons of copper
sulphate should be dissolved in it. To make the copper sulphate solution more
conductible, add a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid. Using sandpaper, clean copper
plates. After that, give them a good rinsing and let them air dry. Immerse the copper
plates in a copper sulphate solution after connecting them to the terminals of a
battery. Allow 15 minutes for the current to pass. Now take the electrodes out of the
solution and examine them closely. Copper sulphate dissociates into copper and
sulphate when an electric current is applied through the solution. The free copper is
attracted to the electrode linked to the battery's negative terminal and deposited
there.
