Question

Statement 1: When the two terminals of an electric cell are joined directly, the chemicals in the electric cell get used up very slowly.
Statement 2: To form an electric circuit one terminal of an electric cell is connected to two terminals of a bulb.

• A.
  Only statement 2 is correct
• B.
  Only statement 1 is correct
• C.
  Both statement 1 and statement 2 are correct.
• D.
  Both statment 1 and statement 2 are incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Both statment 1 and statement 2 are incorrect.

• When we connect two terminals of an electric cell directly, the chemicals in the electric cell get used up very fast and the cell stops working.
• When the two terminals of a bulb are connected to two terminals of an electric cell, the electric circuit completes and electric current flows through the circuit which makes the bulb glow.

Thus, both the statements are incorrect.
