Question


A child staying in a coastal region uses his tester (consisting of a magnetic needle) with drinking water and sea water. He observes that


Options:
A .   magnetic needle deflects more in the case of sea water.
B .   magnetic needle deflects more in the case of drinking water
C .   magnetic needle does not deflect in any case.
D .   magnetic deflection will be same in both cases
Answer: Option A
:
A

Sea water is more conducting compared to drinking water, as the former has more salts. So, more current flows through sea water than through drinking water. Hence, when tested with a tester, the magnetic deflection will be more in the case of sea water.
