4.  What type of energy does a motor convert into mechanical energy?
                          i)  Chemical energy                              ii)  Electrical energy

                         iii)  Thermal energy                             iv)  Light energy

                    5.  What is a common use of LDR in everyday devices?
                          i)  To control the volume

                         ii)  To turn on lights automatically in the dark

                         iii)  To make noise

                         iv)  To measure weight

                 B.  State whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
                    1.  An LED emits light when electricity flows through it.
                    2.  A potentiometer is also known as a variable resistor.

                    3.  Motors are used to measure temperature in electronic devices.
                    4.  An LDR increases its resistance in bright light.

                    5.  A motor converts electrical energy into sound energy.
                 C.  Fill in the blanks.

                    1.  When you turn the switch to the “on” position, it completes the               in the circuit.
                    2.  he brightness of an LED can be increased by allowing more                 to flow through it.

                    3.  To create a                   LED circuit, connect a switch in series with the LED.
                    4.  The                    of an LED is affected by how much current is allowed to flow through it.

                    5.  A fan speed dimmer controls the                   of the fan by adjusting the potentiometer.
