Quiz 7: WS8.2 answers

Fill in the Blanks (10 marks)
1      In some materials, there are electrons which are free to move (1) randomly in all directions. These electrons are called (2) free electrons.
2      The free electrons in a metal wire are ‘driven’ to flow in the (3) same direction when there is a dry cell in the circuit.
3      The free electrons flow from the (4) negative pole of the dry cell to the (5) positive pole. The flow of these free electrons forms an (6) electric current.            
4      An (7) ammeter is an instrument used for measuring the size of an electric current.
5      Electric current is measured in (8) ampere (A). Small electric currents are measured in milliamperes (mA).
6      We should always connect the (9) positive terminal of the ammeter towards the positive pole of the dry cell and the (10) negative terminal towards the negative pole.

Challenging Questions (Bonus 3 marks)

1.    In the diagram below, draw wires to show how the circuit should be connected in order to measure the electric current flowing through the circuit. Indicate the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the ammeter.
