Question 51. Electromagnets can be used to lift heavy loads.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    To prevent insulation.
  4.    To increase the voltage.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Electromagnets are temporary magents. The strength of an electromagnet can be varied by varying the current in the circuit. Electromagnets can be used to separate magnetic materials from the junk. In cranes, electromagnets are used to lift heavy loads.
Question 52. Electromagnets are used in cranes to pick heavy metallic objects.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    To prevent insulation.
  4.    To increase the voltage.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Strong electromagnets are often used in areas of heavy industry to move large pieces of iron or steel. They are commonly employed in junkyards where a crane with a huge electromagnet is used to pick up, move and drop old junk cars.
Question 53. Electrical wires generally found in our homes have a plastic covering for safety purposes. 
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    To prevent insulation.
  4.    To increase the voltage.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In our homes, all the electrical wires are usually covered with a layer of insulation for safety. A live wire without insulation can give an electric shock. An electric shock can be hazardous to health and sometimes it can lead to death.
Question 54.


Two or more cells can be joined together to form a  ______________.


  1.     resistor
  2.     battery
  3.     motor
  4.     transistor
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> battery
:
B

A battery is defined as a container consisting of one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power.


Question 55.


The magnetic effect of electric current was first observed by _____________.


  1.     W.H. Whitkar
  2.     H.C. Oersted
  3.     Isaac Newton
  4.     Galileo Galilei
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> H.C. Oersted
:
B

Hans C. Oersted was a Danish physicist and chemist who discovered that electric currents create magnetic fields. This was the first instance to know about the connection between electricity and magnetism.


Question 56.


When the live wire and the fuse wire come in contact with each other in a circuit, it causes a/an _________.


  1.     circuit breaker
  2.     short circuit
  3.     overloading
  4.     earthing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> short circuit
:
B

The contact of live and fuse wire in a circuit is called short-circuiting. There is no current flow in this case.


Question 57.


Working of an electromagnet is based on ___.


  1.     heating effect of electric current
  2.     electro-chemical effect of electric current
  3.     magnetic effect of electric current
  4.     chemical effect of electric current
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> magnetic effect of electric current
:
C

When electric current is passed through a conductor it behaves like a magnet. It is called an electromagnet. Working of an electromagnet is based on the magnetic effects of electric current. 


Question 58.


The long line in the symbol of an electric cell represents its negative terminal.The Long Line In The Symbol Of An Electric Cell Represents I...


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     heating effect
  4.     physical effect
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The long line in the symbol of an electric cell represents its positive terminal and the short line represents its negative terminal. 
Question 59.


An electric bulb glows due to the _________ of electric current.


  1.     chemical effect
  2.     magnetic effect
  3.     heating effect
  4.     physical effect
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> heating effect
:
C
When an electric bulb is connected to a power source, electric current flows through the circuit. Flow of an electric current in a conductor generates a lot of heat due to the collisions between electrons and atoms. When current flows through the filament, it generates both heat and light. This happens due to the heating effect of electric current.

Question 60.


Which of the following material is a good conductor of electricity?


  1.     Rubber
  2.     Silver
  3.     Plastic
  4.     Wood
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Silver
:
B

Metals are generally good conductors of electricity. Silver being a metal possesses this property. Infact it is the best conductor of electricity among metals. Wood, rubber and plastic do not possess the property of conducting electricity.
