(iv) When electricity lights up a bulb, no heat is produced.

A (i) and (ii)
B (iii) and (iv)
C (i) and (iii)
D (ii) and (iii)


Can someone explain how the human body is a good conductor of electricity?

Ashwak from Cambridge International School, Saudi Al Dera

Class : Class 6
Answer (C) is correct because our body is a good conductor of electricity and it has even been mentioned in the synopsis. Now, that means that (i) is correct so automatically B and D get canceled. The air in no form acts as a conductor and is an insulator. So C is also canceled. This leaves us with our final aswer A.

actually our human body consists 70% of water and if we touch electricity they are conducted through our body to either to another person or to any metal or to directly the ground.

Groundwater may come out at some places to form water table. Select the incorrect option regarding this.

APrecipitate should be replaced with condense.
BCondenses should be replaced with evaporates.
CGroundwater should be replaced with run-off.
DWater table should be replaced with spring.
