Question 11.


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.
Question 12.


Which of the following statements are true?


  1.     AC generator supplies direct current.
  2.     DC generator has a commutator.
  3.     DC generator supplies alternating current.
  4.     AC generator has slip rings.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> DC generator has a commutator.
:
B and D
An AC generator produces alternating current and it has slip rings. while a DC generator has a commutator ring which keeps the current flow in the same direction.
Question 13.


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 14.


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.
Question 15.


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 16.


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 in the 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 17.


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 18.


According to the right-hand thumb rule, if the thumb points in the direction of current,  then the other fingers encircle in the direction of the _____.


  1.     motion
  2.     force
  3.     magnetic field
  4.     current
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> magnetic field
:
C
According to the right-hand thumb rule, if you are holding a current carrying conductor with the right hand in such a way, that the thumb points in the direction of the current then the direction in which the other fingers encircle the conductor gives the direction of the magnetic field.
According To The Right-hand Thumb Rule, If The Thumb Points ...

 


Question 19.


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 from excessive flow of electric current through it. If the current becomes too large, the miniature circuit breaker puts off the switch, 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 breaks the circuit when the current exceeds the rated value. So, MCBs work on the magnetic effect of electric current.


Question 20.


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.
