This medium-level worksheet has students fill in blanks, and match items from two columns to practice electricity and circuits skills.
It includes 10 questions across 2 sections for focused practice.
Style:
Electricity and Circuits
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Connecting two batteries end to end in a series increases the total voltage available to the circuit.
2. A longer wire has more resistance than a shorter wire of the same thickness.
3. The symbol for a battery in a circuit diagram shows a long line for positive and a short line for negative.
4. A dimmer switch works by changing the amount of current flowing to a light bulb.
5. Silver is the best conductor of electricity, but copper is used more often because it costs less.
6. A rechargeable battery can reverse its chemical reaction to store energy again.
7. In a circuit diagram, a straight line represents a wire.
8. Electrical resistance is the ability of a material to oppose the flow of current.
9. A fuse is a safety device that contains a thin strip of metal that melts if too much current flows.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
voltage
→ the push that moves electricity through a circuit
drawing that uses symbols to show a circuit
current
→ the flow of electrons through a conductor
the flow of electrons through a conductor
resistance
→ a force that opposes the flow of current
the push that moves electricity through a circuit
circuit diagram
→ drawing that uses symbols to show a circuit
a force that opposes the flow of current
