Answer: Option B. -> √2μ0i3πa⊗  
:
B
According to question resistance of wire ADC is twice that of wire ABC. Hence current flows through ADC is half that of ABC i.e. i2i1=12. Also i1+i2=ii1=2i3 and i2=i3
Magnetic field at centre O due to wire AB and BC (part 1 and 2) B1=B2=μ04π.2i1sin45a/2=μ04π.22i1a
and magnetic field at centre O due to wires AD and DC (i.e. part 3 and 4) B3=B4=μ04π22I2a
Also i1=2i2. So (B1=B2)>(B3=B4)
Hence net magnetic field at centre O
Bnet=(B1+B2)(B3+B4)
=2×μ04π.22×(23i)aμ04π.22(i3)×2a
=μ04π.42i3a(21)=2μ0i3πa

:
A
By using Fl=μ04π.2i1i2a
Fl=107×2×10×50.1=104N
Wires are carrying current in opposite direction so the force will be repulsive.

Question 35. Suppose a room has a magnetic field directed downwards. In order to experience the maximum magnetic force, the current carrying wire must be kept horizontal.

  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    1
  4.    8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The magnetic force on a current-carrying wiredepends on the magnitude of current and the strength of magnetic field. The force is maximum when the direction of current and the field are perpendicular to each other.
Here, the direction of magnetic field is acting downwards, the current carrying wire must be kept horizontal for it to be perpendicular to the magnetic field. Also, this force is minimum (i.e. zero), if the current carrying wire and the field are along the same direction or parallel.
Question 36. If a bar magnet was cut initially into two pieces. Then each of the new pieces was cut into two more pieces, and the process was repeated one more time, find out the number of the north pole generated?
  1.    2
  2.    7
  3.    1
  4.    8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 8
:
D
First cut: 2 north and 2 South Poles.
Second cut: Each of the two pieces were cut into two more pieces.
So, 4 North Poles and 4 South Poles.
Third cut: Each of the 4 pieces is cut into two more pieces.
So, 8 north and 8 South Poles.
Question 37. If the direction of current in the conductor and the magnetic field are the same, in which way will the conductor move?
  1.    It will not move.
  2.    At an acute angle with the direction of the current.
  3.    Perpendicular to the direction of the current.
  4.    In the direction of the current.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> It will not move.
:
A
The direction of the force on aconductor placed in a magnetic field is given by Fleming's left-hand rule. According to this rule, holdingthe forefinger, middle finger, and thumb of the left hand in mutually perpendicular directions, the forefinger indicates the direction of the magnetic field and the middle finger, the direction of the current, then the thumb will indicate the direction of the force which results in the motion of the conductor. However, this force is not experienced when the current flows in the direction of the magnetic field. Here,the direction of the current in the conductor and the magnetic field are the same, so, the conductor will not experience any force. Hence, it will not move in any direction.
Question 38. What happens in the fuse which melts it to break the electrical circuit?
  1.    Short circuit
  2.    Joule's heating
  3.    Overloading
  4.    Decrease in voltage
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Joule's heating
:
B
Fuseis a protective device used to disconnect the supply when the current flowingthroughit exceeds. It is a wire made up of ametal that has low melting point. High current heats and melts it, breaking the circuit.
Joule's heating is the phenomenon that takes place in the fuse which helps itto break the electrical circuit and hence prevents accidents.
Question 39. During short circuit, the current increases drastically at the short-circuit spot.
  1.    True 
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True 
:
A
In a circuit, when a live wire and a neutral wire come into direct contact (shorted), the current in the circuit increases drastically. The current now flows through a low resistive path consisting of wires rather than domestic electric circuits consisting of resistive components.A fuseis a device which prevents the flow of this large amount of current and thus safeguarding the devices against large current.
Question 40. A magnetic needle which is kept near a conductor gets deflected when current is passed through the conductor.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    If the direction of current in electromagnet winding is reversed.
  4.    If the current in the electromagnet winding is doubled.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
A magnetic field is developed around a current carrying conductor. The magnetic needle is deflected as a result of the interaction of this magnetic field and that around the magnetic needle. Thus, the given statement is true.
