Question 11. __________ is a region where a magnet exhibits its magnetic influence.
  1.    Magnetic force
  2.    Magnetic field
  3.    Magnetic circle
  4.    Magnetic energy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Magnetic field
:
B
Magnetic field is a region where a magnet exhibits its magnetic influence. Magnetic substances which are within the magnetic field of a magnet, get attracted to it. The picture below shows themagnetic field of a magnet.

Question 12. Poles of a bar magnet is located _________.
  1.    at the middle of the magnet
  2.    at two extreme ends of the magnet
  3.    at one of the end, together
  4.    outside the bar magnet
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> at two extreme ends of the magnet
:
B
A bar magnet consists of two poles which are always apart and never located at the middle.Poles of a bar magnet are always located at two extreme ends of the magnet.
Poles Of A Bar Magnet Is located _________.
Question 13. What is an electromagnet? Give examples where it is used. [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Electromagnet: 1 Mark
Uses: 1 Mark
An electromagnet is a magnet that runs on electricity. Unlike a permanent magnet, the strength of an electromagnet can easily be changed by changing the amount of electric current that flows through it. The poles of an electromagnet can even be reversed by reversing the flow of electricity. Electromagnets are very strong magnets and they are used in lifting heavy materials like in cranes. They are found in generators, motors and a lot of electronic devices.
Question 14. There are no markings on a bar magnet to differentiate north pole and south pole. What is the best method to identify the poles of a bar magnet? [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Method: 2 Marks
Suspend the bar magnet freely with the help of a thread tied to the center of it, the end that points to the north direction will be regarded as the north pole of the magnet and the other end is regarded as the south pole.
Question 15. What will happen when the poles of the magnets are in the following arrangements? [3 MARKS]
N - N, N - S, S - S
 Discuss Question

:
Each Point: 1 Mark
In N - N, repulsion will occur as like poles repel each other.
In N - S, attractionwill occur as unlike poles attract each other.
In S - S, repulsion will occur as like poles repel each other.
Question 16. A magnet was brought from various directions towards a toy boat that was floating in a water tub. The observed effect in each case is mentioned in Column I. Possible reason for the observed effects are mentioned in Column II. Match the statements in Column I and Column II. [5 MARKS]
Column IColumn IIBoat gets attracted towards the bar magnet.Boat is fitted with a bar magnet with north pole towards its head.Boat is not affected by the magnet.Boat is fitted with a bar magnet with south pole towards its head.Boat moves towards the magnet if north pole of the magnet is brought near its head.Boat has a small magnet fixed along its length.Boat moves away the magnet if north pole of the magnet is brought near its head.Boat is made of magnetic materialBoat floats without changing its direction.Boat is made of non-magnetic material

Question 17. A bar magnet is cut into two pieces A and B, from the middle, as shown in Fig.

Will the two pieces act as individual magnets? Mark the poles of these two pieces. Suggest an activity to verify your answer. [5 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Yes/No: 1 Mark
Markings: 1 Mark
Activity: 3 Marks
Yes, the two pieces will act as individual magnets.
We can identify the ends of the magnets by the test of repulsion. When we bring the new ends of the magnets together, they will attract each other because when we break the magnet, it produces two poles opposite to one another on the broken ends.

Question 18. Where are the poles of a bar magnet located? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
The two extreme ends of the bar magnet representits two poles.
Question 19. Classify the following into magnetic and non-magnetic materials. Give reasons. [3 MARKS]
Rubber, wood, steel, iron nails, cobalt, plastic
 Discuss Question

:
Classification: 1 Mark
Reason: 2 Marks
Magnetic materials: Steel, iron nails and cobalt are magnetic materials because they get attracted to magnets.
Non-magnetic materials: Rubber, wood, and plastic are non-magnetic materials because they show no effect when a magnet is brought near them.
Question 20. What is a magnetic compass? State its use. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Magnetic compass: 2 Marks
Use: 1 Mark
The magnetic compass is a device containing a magnetic needle pivoted in a horizontal plane that indicatesNorth when held on the earth's surface.
Use: Magnetic compass is used to find directions. It is used by sailors to find the right direction during navigation.
