Match the following: (a) Conductor (i) Save appliances (b) Button cell (ii) Graphite (c) Lead accumulator (iii) A combination of cells (d) MCBs (iv) Secondary cell (e) Battery (v) Used in wrist watches

(a) Conductor - (ii) Graphite Materials that allow electricity to pass through them easily are called conductors. Graphite is an example of conductor. It is the only non-metal which is a conductor. (b) Button cell - (v) used in wristwatches Cells are devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Button cells are primary cells. They are used in wristwatches. (c) Lead accumulator - (iv) Secondary cell Lead accumulator is an example of a secondary cell. Secondary cells are also known as rechargeable cells as they can be used again even after all the chemicals are used up. (d) MCBs - (i) save appliances A device known as a fuse is connected in the circuit for safety purpose. When the current in the circuit exceeds the safe limit, it causes overheating of the wire. As a result, the fuse melts and breaks the circuit and thus saves the appliances. Nowadays, the fuse has been replaced by MCBs (Miniature Circuit-Breakers). (e) Battery - (iii) A combination of cells Some devices need more energy to function than that provided by a single cell. In such cases, two or more dry cells are placed in such a manner that the positive terminal of one cell remains in contact with the negative terminal of the other cell. Such a combination of cells is called a battery.
