Question 51. In which of the following cases a straight current-carrying conductor does not experience a force?
  1.    The direction of the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field.
  2.    The direction of the current is parallel to the magnetic field.
  3.    The angle between the conductor and the magnetic field is 60∘.
  4.    The angle between the conductor and the magnetic field is 45∘.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> The direction of the current is parallel to the magnetic field.
:
B
When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, a force is exerted on the conductor. The direction of this force is perpendicular to both the direction of current as well as the direction of the magnetic field(Fleming's left-hand rule).
The conductor will not experience a force if the angle between the current and the magnetic field is 0 or 180, i.e.,parallel. In all other cases, it experiences a force.
Question 52. A wire with a green insulation is usually the live wire of an electric supply.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    DC generator supplies alternating current.
  4.    AC generator has slip rings.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Live wire has red insulation cover, whereas the earth wire has green insulation colour in the domestic circuits.
Question 53. An MCB cuts off the electricity supply in case of short-circuiting or overloading, it works on the principle of ___ .
  1.    chemical effect of current
  2.    heating effect of current
  3.    magnetic effect of current
  4.    law of conservation of momentum
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> magnetic effect of current
:
C
MCBs are used in houses to protect the household wiring fromexcessive flow of electric current through it. If the current becomes too large, the miniature circuit breaker puts off theswitch, cutting off the electric supply. The MCB can be reset when the fault has been corrected. MCB contains an electromagnet which becomes strong enough to separate a pair of contacts and thus breaksthe circuitwhen the current exceeds the rated value. So, MCBs work on the magnetic effect of electric current.
Question 54. Which of the following property of a proton can change while it moves freely in a uniform magnetic field?
  1.    Mass
  2.    Speed
  3.    Velocity
  4.    Charge
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Velocity
:
C
When a proton enters a uniform magnetic field, it starts to move in a circular manner. We know that the velocity of the particle changes when it undergoes circular motion as the direction is always changing. Hence, the velocity of the proton changes when it enters into a magnetic field.
