MAGNETIC EFECTS OF CURRENT

CLASS -X
Q1. State Fleming’s right Hand Rule. Give the principle, construction and working of the AC
generator with a simple diagram. What modification will you suggest so that the output is DC
2.What is a magnetic field?
3.Distinguish between a solenoid and a bar magnet. Draw the magnetic lines for both
4.What is electromagnetic induction? Explain how the movement of a magnet towards or away
from a coil carrying a galvanometer produce current? Write the rule to find the direction of
current in this above coil.
5.Which effect of electric current is utilized in the working of an electric fuse?
6.Name an instrument in which the directive property of a magnet is used.
7.What will you do if you see a person coming in contact with a live wire?
8.Explain why, two magnetic lines of force do not intersect.
9.State the right hand thumb rule.
10.What is the cause of earth’s magnetism?
11.How will you find out the direction of the magnetic field produced by current-carrying
conductor?
12.What type of core should be put inside a current-carrying solenoid to make an
electromagnet?
13.How does alternating current differ from the direct current?
14.Why is a fuse wire made of a tin-lead alloy and not copper?
15.What are magnetic field lines? How is the direction of a magnetic field at a point
determined? Mention two important properties of the magnetic field lines.
16.Draw a rough sketch of the pattern of field lines due to a
(i) current flowing into a circular coil and
(ii) solenoid carrying current.
17.On what factors does the force experienced by a current–carrying conductor placed in a
uniform magnetic field depend?
18.Explain the principle and working of an electric motor with the help of a diagram.What is the
function of a split–ring commutator ?
19.A coil of copper wire is connected to a galvanometer. What would happen if a bar magnet is
(i) Pushed into the coil with its north pole entering first?
(ii) Pulled out of the bar magnet?
(iii) Held stationary inside the coil?
20.What is the function of an earth wire? Why is it necessary to earth the metallic appliances?
21.Explain what is short-circuiting and overloading in an electric supply.
22.Imagine that you are sitting in a chamber with your back to one wall. An electron beam,
moving horizontally from back wall towards the front wall, is deflected by a strong magnetic
field to your right side. What is the direction of the magnetic field?
