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.

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.,
