1. 1An insulator can be charged by friction

   1. ATrue
   2. BFalse
2. 2A [blank_start]gold[blank_end]-leaf e[blank_start]lectroscope[blank_end] is used to find the charge on an [blank_start]insulator[blank_end]. A metal rod connects a metal cap to a [blank_start]gold[blank_end] leaf.
   Bringing a n[blank_start]egatively[blank_end] charged rod close to the cap will repel the [blank_start]electrons[blank_end] down the metal rod, causing the leaf to move [blank_start]away[blank_end] from the metal rod because they have the same charge. The greater the charger, the further the leaf moves.
   The same occurs when a p[blank_start]ositively[blank_end] charged rod is brought close to the metal cap.

   1. ATrue

6. 6Fuelling aircraft and tankers causes [blank_start]static[blank_end] as the [blank_start]fuel[blank_end] rubs against the pipe; the c[blank_start]harges[blank_end] can build up and create a s[blank_start]park[blank_end], igniting the fuel. This is why aircrafts and tanks are [blank_start]earthed[blank_end] when fuelling.

    1. Afilament lamp
    2. Bdiode
    3. Cfixed resistor
17. 17When a current flows, e[blank_start]lectrons[blank_end] travel through the l[blank_start]attice[blank_end] of metal. The electric current causes h[blank_start]eating[blank_end], which is a result of the collisions between electrons and the i[blank_start]ons[blank_end] in the lattice. The c[blank_start]ollisions[blank_end] cause increased v[blank_start]ibrations[blank_end], which is what we mean by h[blank_start]eat[blank_end] energy.

    7. Geat
18. 18A [blank_start]light[blank_end]-dependent resistor is a special type of resistor made from a s[blank_start]emiconductor[blank_end] material. The resistance of an LDR [blank_start]decreases[blank_end] as the intensity of light incident increases, so more light means [blank_start]more[blank_end] resistance. These are used in simple light meters and circuits for automatically detecting how much light enters a c[blank_start]amera[blank_end].
    A [blank_start]thermistor[blank_end] is a special type of resistor that depends on temperature. The resistance of it decreases as the temperature [blank_start]increases[blank_end], so the greater the temperature the less the resistance. These are sued in simple electrical thermometers and on a circuit to switch on a fan inside your l[blank_start]aptop[blank_end] when it overheats.

    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
20. 20Thermistors made from wither semiconductors or metal oxides free up more electrons form the atoms when the temperature increases, causing

    1. Aresistance to increase
    2. Bresistance to decrease
