Yes, We can produce electricity from lemon.
4. Identify the conductor from the following figures.
Ans : Chain
5. What type of circuit is there in a torch light?
simple circuit
6. Circle the odd one out. Give reason for your choice.
Switch, Bulb, Battery, Generator.
Generator (others things are simple circuit materials).
VII. Give short answer
1. Draw the circuit diagram for series connection.
2. Can the cell used in the clock gives us an electric shock? Justify your answer.
clock does not give us an electric shock.Because very very low voltage cell is used.
3. Silver is a good conductor but it is not preferred for making electric wires. Why?
More expensive
VIII. Answer in detail
1. What is the source of electricity? Explain the various power stations in India?
Thermal Power station
In thermal power stations, the thermal energy generated by burning coal, diesel or gas is used to produce steam. The steam thus produced is used to rotate the turbine. While the turbine rotates, the coil of wire kept between the electromagnet rotates. Due to electro magnetic induction electricity is produced. Here heat energy is converted into electrical energy.
Hydel power station
In hydel power stations, the turbine is made to rotate by the flow of water from dams to produce electricity. Here kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy. Hydel stations have long economic lives and low operating cost
Atomic power station
In atomic power stations, nuclear energy is used to boil water.
The steam thus produced is used to rotate the turbine. As a result, electricity is produced. Atomic power stations are also called as nuclear power stations. Here nuclear energy is converted into mechanical energy and then electrical energy
Wind mil
In wind mills, wind energy is used to rotate the turbine to produce electricity. Here kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.
2. Tabulate the different components of an electric circuit and their respective symbols.
| Electric component | Figure | Symbol | Remarks |
| Electric cell |  | | Longer terminal refers positive and shorter terminal refers negative. |
| Battery |  | | Two or more cells connected in series |
| Switch-open |  | | Switch is in off position |
| Switch-closed |  |  | Switch is in on position |
| Electric bulb |  | | The bulb does not glow |
 | | The bulb glows | |
| Connecting wires |  |  | Used to connect devices. |
3. Write short notes on conductors and insulators.
Conductors
The rate of fl ow of electric charges in a circuit is called electric current. The materials which allow electric charges to pass through them are called conductors. Examples: Copper, iron, aluminum, impure water, earth etc.,
Insulators (Non-Conductors)
The materials which do not allow electric charges to pass through them are called insulators or nonconductors.
Examples: plastic, glass, wood, rubber, china clay, ebonite etc.,
