Question 41. What can be said about the direction of force, if the current is reversed in the conductor placed in a magnetic field?
  1.    It will not change.
  2.    It will be reversed.
  3.    It changes by 90∘.
  4.    It changes by 45∘.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> It will be reversed.
:
B
A current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force if the current and magnetic field are mutually perpendicular. The direction of this force can be found out with the help of Fleming's Left Hand Rule. However, if the direction of the current in the conductor is reversed, then the direction of the force acting on it also gets reversed, i.e. the direction of force changes by 180.
Question 42. A long current carrying solenoid produces an uniform magentic field inside it.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    2 north,2 south
  4.    1 north,2 south
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying solenoid is similar to the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet. The magnetic field lines inside a solenoid is straight and equally spaced. This indicates that the strength of the magnetic field inside a solenoid is the same at all the points.
Question 43. If The Above Bar Magnet Is Broken Along The Middle Line, The...
If the above bar magnet is broken along the middle line, then how many north poles and south poles will be formed?
  1.     1 north,1 south
  2.    2 north,1 south
  3.    2 north,2 south
  4.    1 north,2 south
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2 north,2 south
:
C
If one magnet is broken into two, we always get two separate smaller magnets. Both the magnets will have their own North and the South Pole. Hence when the above magnet is broken in the middle, we get 4 poles; 2 north poles and 2 south poles.
Question 44. For making a strong electromagnet, the material of the core should be:
  1.    Soft iron
  2.    Steel
  3.    Brass
  4.    Copper
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Soft iron
:
A
The soft iron inside the coil makes the magnetic field stronger because it becomes a magnet itself when the current is flowing through it.
Also, this material does not retain the magnetism when the current flow is stopped. This property of soft iron is much desirablefor electromagnets.
Question 45. A uniform magnetic field exists in a plane pointing from left to right as shown in the figure. In this field, an electron and a proton move vertically as shown. The electron and the proton experience forces:
A Uniform Magnetic Field Exists In A Plane Pointing From Lef...
  1.    Both pointing into the plane.
  2.    Both pointing out of the plane.
  3.    In the direction of magnetic field.
  4.    In the opposite direction of magnetic field.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Both pointing into the plane.
:
A
Applying Fleming’s left hand 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 on a charge. The direction of current is always opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. With help ofFleming’s left hand rule, we can infer that the force is acting into the plane.
Question 46. Where do magnetic field lines intersect ? 
  1.    They do not intersect.
  2.    At an angle of 45∘ to each other.
  3.    At right angles to one another.
  4.    At an angle of 60∘ to one another
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> They do not intersect.
:
A
The magnetic field lines indicate the direction of magnetic field at a point. If they intersect at a point, there would be more than one direction of magnetic field which is practically not possible.
Question 47. A soft iron bar is placed  inside a current-carrying solenoid. The magnetic field inside the solenoid will _____.
  1.    decrease
  2.    increase
  3.    become zero
  4.    remain the same
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> increase
:
B
A solenoid is a long coil containing a large number of close turns of insulated copper wire. The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current carrying solenoid depends on the nature of the core material used in making it. The use of soft iron rod as the core increases the magnetic field produced by it.
Question 48. Change in the number of magnetic field lines pasing through a coil induces an emf in the coil.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    the bar magnet is kept stationary 
  4.    the wire loop on the conducting cylinder is moved towards the bar magnet
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Any change in the magnetic environment of a coil of wire will cause a voltage (emf) to be "induced" in the coil. No matter how the change is produced, the voltage will be generated. The change could be produced by changing the magnetic field strength, moving a magnet toward or away from the coil, moving the coil into or out of the magnetic field, rotating the coil relative to the magnet, etc.
Question 49. In the given figure, the galvanometer will not have a deflection if:​
In The Given Figure, The Galvanometer Will Not Have A Deflec...
  1.    the bar magnet is moved in the direction shown
  2.    the bar magnet is moved in the opposite direction
  3.    the bar magnet is kept stationary 
  4.    the wire loop on the conducting cylinder is moved towards the bar magnet
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> the bar magnet is kept stationary 
:
C
An emf would be induced inthe coil if there is a change in the magnetic flux. This can happen if the bar magnet and the coil move relative to each other i.e.if the bar magnet moves towards/away from the coil or the coil moves towards/away from the bar magnet. But if neither the bar magnet nor the coil moves then the induced current is zero.
Question 50. When two bar magnets were brought close to each other, they repelled. Determine the poles using the below figure.
When Two Bar Magnets Were Brought Close To Each Other, They ...
  1.    1 - North, 2- South
  2.    1- South, 2 - North
  3.    1 - North, 2- North
  4.    Can be any combination
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1 - North, 2- North
:
C
Magnets have two poles i.e north pole and south pole. Like poles of magnets repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. It is given that the magnets repel each other. From this, we can infer that the poles facing each other would be north-north or south-south.
