8th Class Physical Science 9th Lesson Electrical Conductivity of Liquids 1 Mark Important Questions and Answers<\/h3>\n

Question 1.
\nWhy do we use LED in the tester instead of a bulb?
\nAnswer:
\nLED glows even when a very weak current is passing through the circuit. Thus, it helps in testing flow of electricity in conductors when meager current is passing through the circuit.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nWhy do we use LEDs as indicators in electrical appliances?
\nAnswer:
\nLEDs glow even with a very small current passing through them. So they are used as indicators in electrical appliances like mobile phones, televisions, transformers, etc. to indicate whether the device is working or not.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nWhat is meant by good conductors of electricity?
\nAnswer:
\nSome materials allow electric current pass through them easily. They are called good conductors of electricity.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nWhat is meant by bad conductors of electricity?
\nAnswer:
\nThe materials that do not allow current to pass through them are called bad conductors of electricity.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nWhy distilled water is poor conductor of electricity?
\nAnswer:
\nDistilled water does not dissociate easily to form ions. So there is no availability of charged particles for passage of electricity. So it behaves like a bad conductor of electricity.<\/p>\n

Question 6.
\nWhy water used at our homes is a good conductor of electricity?
\nAnswer:
\nThe water that we get from sources such as taps, hand pumps, wells and ponds is not pure like distilled water. It contains some salts and minerals dissolved in it. This makes the water used at our homes a good conductor of electricity.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nWhat is electrolytic cell?
\nAnswer:
\nThe cell which convert chemical energy into electric energy is called electrolytic cell.<\/p>\n

Question 8.
\nA child staying in a coastal region tests the drinking water and also the sea water with his tester. He finds that compass needle deflects more in the case of sea water. Can you explain the reason?
\nAnswer:
\nThe reason is sea water is very good conductor of electricity when compared with drinking water due to more dissolved salts.<\/p>\n

Question 9.
\nIs it safe for electrician to carry out electrical repairs outdoor during heavy down pour?
\nAnswer:
\nNo, because it makes electrical appliance which he repairs become wet and also rainy water is good conductor of electricity due to dissolved minerals and salts. So to avoid electric shock it is advised to carry out electric repairs indoor during heavy downpour.<\/p>\n

Question 10.
\nA tester is used to check conduction of electricity through two liquids labelled A and B. It is found that the bulb of the tester glows brightly for liquid A while it glows very dimly for liquid B. What is your conclusion?
\nAnswer:
\nLiquid A is better conductor than liquid B.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 11.
\nWhen the free ends of a tester are dipped into a solution, the magnetic needle shows deflection. Can you explain the reason?
\nAnswer:
\nThe solution is a good conductor of electricity and also when we dipped the tester into the solution due to chemical effect it produces electricity and it behaves like an electrolytic cell and also current carrying tester behaves like a magnet and shows deflection.<\/p>\n

Question 12.
\nWhat is the main threat to environment from electroplating factories?
\nAnswer:
\nIn the electroplating factories the disposal of the used conducting solution is a major concern. It is a polluting waste. So it is the main threat to environment from electroplating factories.<\/p>\n

Question 13.
\nWhy should we have to deposit nickel or chromium on iron?
\nAnswer:
\nIron which is easily corroded by atmospheric air, moisture and carbon dioxide are coated with deposits of nickel or chromium which are most resistant to such corrosion.<\/p>\n

    \nb) If the key is to be coated with zinc or aluminium instead of copper, what changes do we need to make the above experiments?
    \nAnswer:
    \na) There is red mass of copper deposited on iron key.
    \nb) If we want to coat aluminium or zinc or iron then, we have to take electrolyte is like aluminium sulphate or zinc sulphate and the positive electrode is aluminium or zinc.<\/p>\n

    Question 4.
    \nName three liquids which when tested in the manner shown in figure may cause the magnetic needle to deflect.
    \nAnswer:
    \nIn order to deflect the needle the liquid must be a good conductor of electricity. So we have to take liquids like lemon juice, vinegar solution, salt solution.<\/p>\n

    Question 5.
    \nThe bulb does not glow in the set up shown in figure. List the possible reasons. Explain your answer.
    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The wires are not properly connected so the circuit may be open.<\/li>\n
    2. The liquid taken in the vessel may be a bad conductor of electricity which does not allowing the passage of current.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Question 6.
      \nGive two examples for electrolyte.

        Question 8.
        \nIs plastic coated by the process of electroplating? Why?
        \nAnswer:
        \nNo. Plastic cannot be coated on a metal by using electroplating. Plastic does not act as an electrolyte. So electrolysis process is not possible with plastic which is main criteria for electroplating. So plastic cannot be coated on a metal by the process of electroplating.<\/p>\n

        Question 9
        \nWhat are the requirements for fine coating in electroplating process?
        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

          Question 10.
          \nIn case of a fire, before the fire men use the water, they shut off the main electrical supply for the area. Explain why they do this.
          \nAnswer:
          \nFire men use water to put out fire. Water containing dissolved salts is a good conduc\u00actor of electricity. If fire men pour water on fire the electrical appliances near the fire may be wet if anybody touches those appliances they may have electric shock. In order to avoid people to get electric shock due to wet electrical appliances the fire men shut off electrical supply before they use water.<\/p>\n

          Question 11.
          \nWe get some items made from iron wire in which iron wire is coated with plastic. Is plastic coated by the process of electroplating? Why can plastic not be coated on a metal by the process of electroplating?
          \nAnswer:
          \nNo. Plastic cannot be coated on a metal by using electroplating. The reason is plastic being a carbon polymer does not dissociate into ions. So it does not allow passage of current. So it does not act as an electrolyte. So electrolysis process is not possible with plastic which is main criteria for electroplating. So plastic cannot be coated on a metal by the process of electroplating.<\/p>\n

              Question 5.
              \nWhy does chromium is used for electroplating? Why the objects which have chromium plated are not made of chromium itself?
              \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Chromium has a shiny appearance does not corrode and resist scratches.<\/li>\n
              2. However chromium is expensive and may not be possible to make the whole object out of chromium.<\/li>\n
              3. So the object is made from a cheaper metal and only a coating of chromium is done over it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
