MCQs on Conductors

 The materials which allow current to flow through them freely are called conductors. The materials which resist the flow of current are called inductors.

Conductors allow the electric current to flow because of the specific structure of the atoms of these materials. The outermost electron of the conductor is loosely bound and can freely move through the material when an electric charge is applied. The best material used as the conductor of electricity is metal. The most conductive material is silver. Since silver is rare and expensive to be used in electrical circuits, copper is used in electrical wiring throughout the world. Superconductors are materials that have zero resistance. They are perfect conductors. All superconductors discovered by scientists become superconductors at a very low temperature (-2340C). Some examples of insulators are glass, plastic, paper, etc

There are some materials which have properties between conductors and insulators. These materials are called semiconductors. The most commonly used semiconductors are silicon and germanium.

Q1: Which of the following is the most conductive element?

  1. Copper
  2. Iron
  3. Silicon
  4. Silver

Answer:(d) Silver

Q2: A material that has zero resistance is called

  1. Insulator
  2. Conductor
  3. Superconductor
  4. semiconductor

Q3: Why is copper a preferred choice in making electrical wires?

  1. Copper is a good conductor of electricity
  2. Poor conductors of electricity
  3. Insulators
  4. Superconductors

Answer:(a) Copper is a good conductor of electricity

Q4: Which among the follow

Chloroplasts Questions With Answers

  The photosynthesis-conducting organelles which is the site where chlorophyll traps solar energy converting it and storing it in the energy storage molecules – NADPH and ATP are called Chloroplasts.

Parts Of Plants MCQs for NEET

  Plants are biotic factors of the ecosystem. They are photosynthetic, multicellular, eukaryotic in nature and are grouped distinctly into Kingdom Plantae. Contrary to the animals, plants possess a well-defined cell and specialized structures that are chiefly linked with cellular functionalities. These are the only living species who can manufacture/synthesize their own food. They are able to do so because of the presence of specialized structures in the cells of plants. Typically plant parts can be classified as the root system and the shoot system. 1. Which of the following factors promotes the opening of the stomatal aperture? (a) A decrease in guard cell turgidity (b) When the outer walls of the guard cells contracts (c) Radial orientation of the cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall of the guard cells (d) The longitudinal orientation of the cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall of guard cells Answer: (c) 2. Which of the following is made of dead cells? (a) Phloem (b) Phell...
