CBSE Case Study Questions Class 10 Science Magnetic Effects of Electric Current

Case Study – 1

Andre Marie Ampere suggested that a magnet must exert an equal and opposite force on a current carrying conductor, which was experimentally found to be true. But we know that current is due to charges in motion. Thus, it is clear that a charge moving in a magnetic field experience a force, except when it is moving in a direction parallel to it. If the direction of motion is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field, the magnitude of force experienced depends on the charge, velocity (v) , strength of magnetic field(B), and sine of the angle between v and B.

(a) Direction of magnetic force is given by which rule?

Answer- Fleming’s left hand rule.

(b) Write the statement of the rule?

Answer- It states that if we stretch thumb, forefinger or the index finger and the middle finger in such a way that they are mutually perpendicular to each other then the thumb gives the direction of the motion or the force acting on conductor, index finger gives the direction of magnetic field and the middle finger gives the direction of current.

a.) The galvanometer needle deflects momentarily in one direction.

b.) The galvanometer needle deflects again momentarily but in opposite direction to that in the previous case.

c.) No deflection.

d) Electromagnetic induction.

Explanation- Electromagnetic induction is a process by changing a magnetic field in a conductor, which induces a current in another conductor placed in nearby.

Case Study – 3 

It is well known that “magnetic field is caused by electric current. ”Whenever there is a change in magnetic flux linked with a coil (or circuit) an emf is induced in the coil. This phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction. The emf produced in the coil is called the induced emf.If the coil is closed, the current thus produced is called as induced current. The direction of induced current is determining by Fleming’s right hand rule. These induced current are used in a moving coil microphone, tape-recorders, video recorders, hard-discs in computers etc.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions

(a) State Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.

Ans – When we linked magnetic field lines with a coil due to relative motion of a magent and the coil, then an induced current produced in the coil. The magnet of induced current is directly proportional. The rate of change of number of magnetic field lines to the coil.

(b) State any two methods of inducing current in a coil.

Answer- Current can be induced in a coil by

  • Rotating a coil within a magnetic field.
  • Moving a coil towards or away from a magnet
  • Moving a magnet towards or away from the coil

Case Study – 4

The change in electric current through the circuit produces magnetic field around it. Magnetic field is a vector quantity which has both magnitude as well as direction. The magnetic field lines produced are directed from north pole and ends at south pole. These lines are closed curves from which strength of the magnetic field is determined. Where magnetic field lines are crowded magnetic field is stronger and where very apart the strength of magnetic field is weak. So, we can say that as the current through the electrical circuit increase then the magnitude of magnetic field also increases. If a current carrying conductor is holded in right hand by curling figures around it. Then, the curled figures gives the direction of electric current and curled figures gives the direction of magnetic field.

As the magnitude of magnetic field depends on the current through it. Also, if the number of turns of wire in a circuit is more then also the magnitude of magnetic field is more. If a coil having many circular turns of insulated copper wire wound closely to form a cylindrical shape is called as solenoid. Solenoid is used to produce strong magnetic field which can be used to magnetise the piece of magnetic material. And hence they are used in making electromagnet mainly.

1) What is the nature of magnetic field lines inside the solenoid?

2) For what right hand thumb rule is used?

3) What are the properties of magnetic poles?

1) Inside the solenoid the magnetic field lines are parallel straight lines and the magnetic field inside the solenoid is uniform.

2) The right hand thumb rule is used to find the direction of electric current which given by the thumb.

3) The like poles of a magnet repels each other and the unlike poles of magnet attract each other.

If we stretched the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of our left hand so that they are mutually perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger gives the direction of magnetic field and middle finger gives the direction of electric current then the thumb gives the direction of motion or the force acting on the conductor.

Electric motor is used to convert electric energy into mechanical energy. It is mostly used in electric fans, refrigerators, mixers, washing machine, computers etc.

The commercial motor uses an electromagnet in place of permanent magnet, large number of turns of the conducting wire in the current carrying coil, a soft iron core on which the coil is wound. If we stretched the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of right hand so that they are mutually perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger gives the direction of magnetic field and thumb gives the direction of motion of conductor then the middle finger gives the direction of induced current. And this rule is called as Fleming’s right hand rule.

Electric generator is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.The direct current always flows in one direction while the alternating current changes its direction periodically. The frequency of AC in India is 50 Hz.

The domestic electric circuit consist of red insulated cover called as live wire, wire with black insulation called as neutral wire and the wire with green insulation is called as Earth wire. We know that fuse is connected in series with the circuit to prevent the damaging of electrical appliances and circuit from overloading. Overloading occurs when live wire and the neutral wire comes in direct contact with each other. Because of which current through the circuit increases suddenly. Also, overloading may occurs because of connecting many appliances to a single socket. The Earth wire which is green in colour is connected to a metal plate deep in the earth near the house. This type of safety measure is used in appliances like electric press, toaster, table fan, refrigerator etc. The Earth wire is gives low resistance conducting path for the electric current. In this way it protects us from severe electric shock.

All the appliances are connected in parallel circuit so that the potential difference across each appliance will be same.

1) What are the signs of live wire and neutral wire?

2) In our country what is the potential difference between live wire and neutral wire?

3) What is short circuiting?

4) What is the main purpose of using fuse in electric circuit?

1) The red insulated wire is the live wire or positive and the black insulated wire is the neutral wire or negative.

2) In our country the potential difference between live wire and neutral wire is 220 V.

3) When live wire and neutral wire comes in direct contact, in that situation the current through the circuit increases suddenly and it is called as short circuiting.

4) Because of Joule’s heating effect the heat produced causes the fuse to melt and to break the circuit. And thereby protect the circuit and electric appliances.

Case/Passage – 1 A solenoid is a long helical coil of wire through which a current is run in order to create a magnetic field. The magnetic field of the solenoid is the superposition of the fields due to the current through each coil. It is nearly uniform inside the solenoid and close to zero outside and is similar to the field of a bar magnet  having a north pole at one end and a south pole at the other depending upon the direction of current flow. The magnetic field produced in the solenoid is dependent on a few factors such as, the current in the coil, number of turns per unit length etc. The following graph is obtained by a researcher while doing an experiment to see the variation of the magnetic fieldwith respect to the current in the solenoid.

A magnetic stripe card, also referred to as a swipe card or magstripe, is a plastic card with a magnetic strip attached on its surface. This stripe is made of tiny iron-based components whose magnetism can be modified and can therefore be used to store information. A magstripe is quite similar to a magnetic recording tape, which you might find in videotape or a music cassette. The magnetic strip on a card can be ‘written’ or encoded with information because the tiny iron-based particles that make up the strip can be magnetised in different directions by a device that produces a strong magnetic field. This device is a ‘solenoid’, which is basically a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. The wire is wound around a highpermeable, metallic core that produces a strong magnetic field when a current is passed through it. This device encodes the required information onto the stripe, which is then pasted on a plastic card. When a card with a magnetic strip is moved back and forth over the ‘reader head’ , a voltage is induced in the coils of the card reader device. A card reader consists of solenoid too – the same component that is used to write information in the magnetic strip. This voltage can be amplified and recorded electronically, which is finally read by a computer (or a processor installed within the reader) to authenticate a user (in the case of identity cards) or a transaction (in the case of credit/debit cards).

It is well known that “magnetic field is caused by electric current. ”Whenever there is a change in magnetic flux linked with a coil (or circuit) an emf is induced in the coil. This phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction. The emf produced in the coil is called the induced emf. If the coil is closed, the current thus produced is called as induced current. The direction of induced current is determining by Fleming’s right hand rule. These induced current are used in a moving coil microphone, tape-recorders, video recorders, hard-discs in computers etc.

Andre Marie Ampere suggested that a magnet must exert an equal and opposite force on a current carrying conductor, which was experimentally found to be true. But we know that current is due to charges in motion. Thus, it is clear that a charge moving in a magnetic field experience a force, except when it is moving in a direction parallel to it. If the direction of motion is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field, the magnitude of force experienced depends on the charge, velocity (v) , strength of magnetic field(B), and sine of the angle between v and B.

Q1: Direction of magnetic force is given by which rule? Ans: Fleming’s left hand rule. Q2: Write the statement of the rule? Ans:  It states that if we stretch thumb, forefinger or the index finger and the middle finger in such a way that they are mutually perpendicular to each other then the thumb gives the direction of the motion or the force acting on conductor, index finger gives the direction of magnetic field and the middle finger gives the direction of current.

→ The ends of the coil are connected to the two halves P and Q of a split ring. The inner sides of these halves are insulated and attached to an axle.

→ The external conducting edges of P and Q touch two conducting stationary brushes X and Y, respectively.

→ Current in the coil ABCD enters from the source battery through conducting brush X and flows back to the battery through brush Y.

→ The force acting on arm AB pushes it downwards while the force acting on arm CD pushes it upwards.

→ Thus the coil and the axle O, mounted free to turn about an axis, rotate anti-clockwise.

→ At half rotation, Q makes contact with the brush X and P with brush Y. Therefore the current in the coil gets reversed and flows along the path DCBA.

→ The split ring acts as a commutator which reverse the direction of current and also reverses the direction of force acting on the two arms AB and CD. 

→ Thus the arm AB of the coil that was earlier pushed down is now pushed up and the arm CD previously pushed up is now pushed down.

→ Therefore the coil and the axle rotate half a turn more in the same direction. The reversing of the current is repeated at each half rotation, giving rise to a continuous rotation of the coil and to the axle.

• Commutator:  A device that reverses the direction of flow of current through a circuit is called a commutator.

• Armature:  The soft iron core, on which the coil is wound including the coils is called armature. It enhances the power of the motor.

Commercial use of motors

(i) an electromagnet in place of permanent magnet

(ii) large number of turns of the conducting wire in the current-carrying coil

(iii) a soft iron core on which the coil is wound.

→ Hold the thumb, the fore finger and the middle finger of right hand at right angles to each other. 

→ If the fore finger is in the direction of magnetic field and the thumb points in the direction of motion of conductor, then the direction of induced current is indicated by middle finger.

• Working principle of electric generator.

• Used to find direction of induced current.

→ An electric generator, mechanical energy is used to rotate a conductor in a magnetic field to produce electricity.

case study questions class 10 magnetic effect of electric current

→ An electric generator consists of a rotating rectangular coil ABCD placed between the two poles of a permanent magnet.

→ The two ends of this coil are connected to the two rings R 1  and R 2 . The inner side of these rings are made insulated.

→ The inner side of these rings are made insulated. The two conducting stationary brushes B 1  and B 2  are kept pressed separately on the rings R 1  and R 2 , respectively.

→ The two rings R 1  and R 2  are internally attached to an axle. The axle may be mechanically rotated from outside to rotate the coil inside the magnetic field.

→ Outer ends of the two brushes are connected to the galvanometer to show the flow of current in the given external circuit.

→ When the axle attached to the two rings is rotated such that the arm AB moves up (and the arm CD moves down) in the magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet.

→ After half a rotation, arm CD starts moving up and AB moving down. As a result, the directions of the induced currents in both the arms change, giving rise to the net induced current in the direction DCBA.

→ The current in the external circuit now flows from B 1  to B 2 . Thus after every half rotation the polarity of the current in the respective arms changes.

• To get a  direct current (DC) , a split-ring type commutator must be used. With this arrangement, one brush is at all times in contact with the arm moving up in the field, while the other is in contact with the arm moving down.

• The direct current always flows in one direction, whereas the alternating current reverses its direction periodically.

→ The current which reverses its direction periodically.

→ In India, A. C. reverses its direction in every 1/100 second.

Time period = 1/100 + 1/100 = 1/50 s

Frequency = 1/time period = 1/50 = 50 Hz

Advantage of A.C.

→ A. C. can be transmitted over long distance without much loss of energy.

Disadvantage of A.C.

→ A. C. cannot be stored.

→ The current which does not reverse its direction.

→ D. C. can be stored.

→ Loss of energy during transmission over long distance is high.

→ Sources of D. C.: Cell, Battery, Storage cells.

→ There are three kinds of wires used:

(i) Live wire (positive) with red insulation cover.

(ii) Neutral wire (negative) with black insulation cover.

(iii) Earth wire with green insulation cover.

→ The potential difference between live and neutral wire in India is 220 V.

→ Pole ⇒ Main supply ⇒ Fuse ⇒ Electricity meter ⇒ Distribution box ⇒ To separate circuits

Answer: Using Fleming’s left hand rule, the nature of charged particle is positive.

Question 6: Name any two appliances which are based on the application of heating effect of electric current.

Answer: Room heater and geyser.

Question 7: Why and when does a current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field experience force? List the factors on which direction of this force depends?

Answer: The drifting of free electrons of a conductor in a definite direction causes the current to flow through it. When such conductor is placed in a uniform magnetic field, each drifted electron of a conductor experience a magnetic force. This force is collectively experience by a conductor as a whole. Hence a current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field experience a force. The direction of magnetic force depends on (i) direction of current through the conductor, and (ii) direction of magnetic field.

Question 8: How is the strength of magnetic field near a straight current-conductor (i) related to the strength of current in the conductor? (ii) is affected by changing the direction of flow of current in the conductor?

Answer: (i) The strength of magnetic field around a straight current conductor increases on increasing the strength of current in the conductor or vice versa.

(ii) The direction of magnetic field around a straight current carrying conductor gets reversed if the direction of current through that conductor is reversed.

Question 9: What is meant by the term ‘frequency of an alternating current’? What is its value in India? Why is an alternating current considered to be advantageous over direct current for long range transmission of electric energy?

Answer: Frequency of Alternating current is equal to the number of cycles completed in one second. In India, frequency of AC is 50 Hz i.e. 50 cycles per second.

An alternating current is considered to be advantageous over direct current for long range transmission of electric energy because it can be transmitted over long distances to distant places without much loss of electric power as compared to direct current.

Question 10: Explain any two situations that can cause electrical hazards in domestic circuits.

Answer: (i) Connecting too many electrical devices to a single socket or in the extension cord for any length of time draws high current from the mains that will exceed the current rating of connecting wires. The wires cannot withstand such a high current and melt and may cause fire.

(ii) Most electrical hazards in domestic circuits are caused by the faulty electrical outlets, old and out-dated appliances. The chances of short circuit i.e., contact of live wire and neutral wires with each other due to damage in their insulation or some fault in the appliances are very high. It may result spark at the contact point which may even cause fire,

Class 10 Chapter 13 Magnetic Effects of Electric Currents Extra Questions 14 i

(b) What does the degree of closeness of magnetic field lines near the poles signify?

Class 10 Chapter 13 Magnetic Effects of Electric Currents Extra Questions 14 ii

(b) The degree of closeness of magnetic field lines near the poles signify that the field is stronger there, i.e. the pole of another magnet when placed in the magnetic field experiences a greater force where the field lines are crowded.

Question 15: Magnetic field lines of two magnets are shown in fig. A and fig. B.

Class 10 Chapter 13 Magnetic Effects of Electric Currents Extra Questions 15

Select the figure that represents the correct pattern of field lines. Give reasons for your answer. Also name the poles of the magnets facing each other.

Answer: Figure B represents the correct pattern of field lines. In figure A, field lines cross each other which is not possible because if they cross each other, at the point of intersection, there would be two directions of field lines.

 In figure B, field lines are emerging in nature, so poles of magnet facing each other are north poles while opposite faces will have south polarity.

Question 16: Insulation cover of which colour is conventionally used for earth wire? Why is an earth wire connected to metallic parts of appliances?

Answer: For earth wire, green or yellow colour insulation is used. The earth wire provides the low resistance conducting path for the current and maintains the potential of appliances body with that of the earth. So, earth wire is used as a safety measure.

Question 17: Identify the poles of the magnet in the given figure (1) and (2).

Class 10 Chapter 13 Magnetic Effects of Electric Currents Extra Questions 17 i

Answer: Field lines emerge from north pole (N) and merge at the south pole (S) as shown in both the figures

Class 10 Chapter 13 Magnetic Effects of Electric Currents Extra Questions 17 ii

Question 18: Explain the role of fuse in series with any electrical appliance in an electric circuit. Why should a fuse with defined rating for an electric circuit not be replaced by one with a larger rating?

Answer: Fuse is a safety device connected in series with live wire or with any electrical appliance in an electric circuit. It stops the flow of unduly high electric current in the circuit by getting melted due to rise in temperature as per Joule’s law of heating.

High rating fuse wire has the larger capacity. So, it will not stop the flow of any relatively high current. Therefore, electrical devices cannot be protected from the possible damage.

Question 19: The magnetic field associated with a current-carrying straight conductor is in anticlockwise direction. If the conductor was held along the east-west direction, what will be the direction of current through it? Name and state the rule applied to determine the direction of current.

Answer: Direction of current – east to west as determined by Right-hand thumb rule. Ri’-lu-Uand Thumb

Rule: If we hold a current-carrying conductor by right hand in such a way that the stretched thumb is along the direction of current, then the curly fingers around the conductor represents the direction of field lines of magnetic field.

Question 20: Two circular coils A and B are placed close to each other. If the current in the coil A is changed, will some current be induced in the coil B? Give reason.

Answer: Yes, when a current in coil A changes, magnetic field lines linked with coil B also change. Hence, due to change in number of magnetic field lines, there is an induced current in coil B.

Question 21: When is the force experienced by a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field largest?

Answer: When the length of current-carrying conductor and direction of magnetic field are perpendicular to each other, the maximum force is experienced by the current-carrying conductor.

Question 22: State one main difference between A.C and D.C. Why A.C is preferred over D.C for long range transmission of electric power? Name one source each of D.C and A.C.

Answer: Difference between A.C. and D.C. The alternating current (A.C.) reverses its direction periodically whereas the direct current (D.C.) always flows in one direction.

A.C. is preferred over D.C. because it can be transmitted over long distance without much loss of energy.

D.C. source: Battery A.C. source: A.C. generator

Question 23: State the consequences that can lead to a short circuit. (or)

One of the major cause of fire in office building is short circuiting. List three factors which may lead to the short circuit.

Answer: It occurs as a consequence of

  • failure of electrical insulation’s due to which live wire comes in direct contact with neutral or earth wire.
  • presence of external conducting material such as water which is introduced accidentally into the circuit.
  • electrical appliances are forced to operate when its moving parts are jammed.
  • connection of current carrying parts of electrical equipment’s comes in contact to one another due to human or natural cause and use of less rating wires.
  • When this happens, there is an excessive electric current which can damage the circuit and may also cause electrical fires.

Question 24: What is short circuiting? State one factor/condition that can lead to it. Name a device in the household that acts as a safety measure for it. State the principle of its working.

Answer: Short circuiting: When electric circuit offers very low resistance to the flow of current through it, the current increases heavily and the circuit is said to be short circuited. It occurs when live wire touches the neutral wire. This happens due to the damage in insulation of the power lines.

Safety measure device: Fuse.

Working principle of fuse: It works on the heating effect of electric current or Joule’s law of heating.

According to this law, the heat produced in a resistor is directly proportional to the

(i) square of current for a given resistance. (ii) resistance for a given current and (iii) time for which the current flows through the resistor.

We know, H = I 2 Rt So, when current in the circuit increases, the wire with low melting point in it melts to the heat generated.

Hence, the circuit breaks and electrical devices and appliances are saved. _

Question 25: Write one application of each of the following: (a) Right-hand thumb rule (b) Fleming’s left hand rule (c) Fleming’s right hand rule

Answer: (a) Right-hand thumb rule is used to find the direction of magnetic field in a coil of wire and the electric current in a straight conductor.

(b) Fleming’s left hand rule is used to find the direction of force exerted on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field as in electric motor.

(c) Fleming’s right hand rule is used to find the direction of induced current in a closed circuit placed in changing magnetic field as in electric generator.

Question 26: State one main difference between A.C. and D.C. Why is A.C. preferred over D.C. for long range transmission of electric power? Name one source each of D.C. and A.C.

Answer: Difference between A.C. and D.C.: The alternating current (A.C.) reverses its direction periodically whereas the direct current (D.C.) always flows in one direction.

Question 27: What is meant by solenoid? How does a current carrying solenoid behave? Give its main use.

Answer: Solenoid: A coil of many circular turns of insulated copper wire wound on a cylindrical insulating body (i.e., cardboard etc.) such that its length is greater than its diameter is called solenoid.

When current is flowing through the solenoid, the magnetic field line pattern resembles exactly with those of a bar magnet with the fixed polarity, i.e. North and South pole at its ends and it acquires the directive and attractive properties similar to bar magnet. Hence, the current carrying solenoid behave as a bar magnet.

Use of current carrying solenoid: It is used to form a temporary magnet called electromagnet as well as permanent magnet.

Question 28: What are magnetic field lines? Justify the following statements

(a) Two magnetic field lines never intersect each other. (b) Magnetic field lines are closed curves.

Answer: Magnetic field lines: It is defined as the path along which the unit North pole (imaginary) tends to move in a magnetic field if free to do so.

(a) The magnetic lines of force do not intersect (or cross) one another. If they do so then at the point of intersection, two tangents can be drawn at that point which indicates that there will be two different directions of the same magnetic which field, i.e. the compass needle points in two different directions which is not possible.

(b) Magnetic field lines are closed continuous curves. They diverge from the north pole of a bar magnet and converge its south pole. Inside the magnet they move from south pole to north pole.

2. List the properties of magnetic field lines.

The properties of magnetic field lines are as follows:

  • Magnetic field lines do not intersect with each other.
  • They emerge from the North Pole and terminate at the South Pole.
  • Inside the magnet, the direction of the field lines is from the South Pole to the North Pole.

3. Why don’t two magnetic field lines intersect each other?

If two magnetic field lines intersect, then at the point of intersection, the compass needle shows two different directions, which is not possible. Hence they do not intersect with each other.

1. Which of the following property of a proton can change while it moves freely in a magnetic field? (There may be more than one correct answer.)

(c) and (d)

When a proton enters the region of a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force. Due to this, the path of the proton becomes circular. As a result, the velocity and the momentum change.

2. In Activity 13.7, how do we think the displacement of rod AB will be affected if (i) current in rod AB is increased; (ii) a stronger horse-shoe magnet is used; and (iii) length of the rod AB is increased?

A current-carrying conductor, when placed in a magnetic field, experiences force. The magnitude of this force will increase with the increase in the amount of current, the length of the conductor and the strength of the magnetic field. Hence, the strength of the magnetic force exerted on the rod AB and its displacement will increase if

  • The current in rod AB is increased
  • A stronger horseshoe magnet is used
  • When the length of the rod AB increases

3. A positively-charged particle (alpha-particle) projected towards the west is deflected towards north by a magnetic field. The direction of magnetic field is

  • towards south
  • towards east

The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using Fleming’s Left-hand rule. According to the rule, if we arrange our thumb, forefinger and the middle finger of the left hand right perpendicular to each other, then the thumb points towards the direction of the magnetic force, the middle finger the direction of current and the forefinger the direction of magnetic field. Since the direction of the positively charged particle is towards the west, the direction of the current will also be towards the west. The direction of the magnetic force is towards the north. Hence the direction of the magnetic field will be upward according to Fleming’s Left-hand rule.

In text 13.4 Page:233

1. State Fleming’s left-hand rule.

Fleming’s Left-hand rule states that if we arrange our thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the left hand at right angles to each other, then the thumb points towards the direction of the magnetic force, the forefinger points towards the direction of the magnetic field and the middle finger points towards the direction of the current.

2. What is the principle of an electric motor?

The working principle of an electric motor is based on the magnetic effect of current. A current-carrying conductor, when placed in a magnetic field, experiences force and rotates. The direction of the rotation of the conductor can be determined by Fleming’s Left-hand rule.

3. What is the role of split ring in an electric motor?

The split ring plays the role of a commutator in an electric motor. The commutator reverses the direction of the current flowing through the coil after each half-rotation of the coil. Due to this reversal of current, the coil continues to rotate in the same direction.

In text 13.5 Page:236

1. Explain different ways to induce current in a coil.

Following are the different ways to induce a current in a coil:

  • If the coil is moved rapidly between the two poles of a horseshoe magnet, an electric current is induced in the coil.
  • When a magnet is moved relative to the coil, an electric current is induced in the coil.

A rectangular coil of copper wires is rotated in a magnetic field. The direction of the induced current changes once in each

  • two revolutions
  • one revolution
  • half revolution
  • one-fourth revolution

c. half revolution

When a rectangular coil is rotated in a magnetic field, the direction of the induced current changes once in a half revolution; as a result, the direction of the current in the coil remains the same.

In text 13.7 Page:238

1. Name two safety measures commonly used in electric circuits and appliances.

The safety measures commonly used in electric circuits are as follows:

Each circuit should be connected to a fuse because a fuse prevents the flow of excessive current through the circuit. When the current in the circuit exceeds the maximum limit of the fuse element, the fuse melts to stop the flow of current protecting the appliance connected to the circuit.

Earthing protects the user from electric shocks. Any leakage of current in an appliance is transferred to the ground by earthing, and the people using the appliance are prevented from getting electrocuted.

2. An electric oven of 2 kW power rating is operated in a domestic electric circuit (220 V) that has a current rating of 5 A. What result do you expect? Explain.

The current drawn by the electric oven can be calculated using the formula

Substituting the values, we get

I = 2000 W/220 V = 9.09 A

The current drawn by the electric oven is 9.09 A which exceeds the safe limit of the circuit. This causes the fuse to melt and break the circuit.

3 . What precaution should be taken to avoid the overloading of domestic electric circuits?

A few of the precautions to be taken to avoid the overloading of domestic electric circuits are as follows:

  • Connecting too many devices to a single socket should be avoided
  • Using too many appliances at the same time should be avoided
  • Faulty appliances should not be connected to the circuit

  • An electric motor converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
  • An electric generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
  • The field at the center of a long circular coil carrying current will be parallel straight lines.
  • A wire with a green insulation is usually the live wire of an electric supply.

An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

An electric generator is a device that generates electricity by rotating a coil in a magnetic field.

A long circular coil is a solenoid. The magnetic field lines inside a solenoid are parallel straight lines.

Live wires have red insulation cover, while the earth wire has green insulation.

7. List two methods of producing magnetic fields.

Following are the methods of producing magnetic fields:

  • By using a permanent magnet, we can produce a magnetic field, and it can be visualized by spreading iron fillings on white paper and keeping a magnet beneath the paper.
  • A current-carrying straight conductor produces magnetic field.
  • Different types of conductors, such as solenoid and circular loops, can be used to see the presence of a magnetic field.

8. How does a solenoid behave like a magnet? Can you determine the north and south poles of a current–carrying solenoid with the help of a bar magnet? Explain.

A solenoid is a long coil of circular loops of insulated copper wire. The magnetic field produced around the solenoid when the current is passed through it is similar to the magnetic field produced around the bar magnet when a current is passed through it. The figure shown below shows the arrangement of magnetic fields produced around the solenoid when current is passed through it.

NCERT Solutions Class 10 Science Chapter 13 - 4

When the north pole of the bar magnet is brought close to the end connected to the negative terminal of the battery, the solenoid repels the battery. As like poles repel each other, we can infer that the end connected to the negative terminal behaves as a north pole while the end connected to the positive terminal behaves as a south pole.

9. When is the force experienced by a current–carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field largest?

When the direction of the current is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the force experienced is the largest.

10. Imagine that you are sitting in a chamber with your back to one wall. An electron beam, moving horizontally from back wall towards the front wall, is deflected by a strong magnetic field to your right side. What is the direction of magnetic field?

The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using Fleming’s Left-hand rule. The direction of the magnetic field will be perpendicular to the direction of the current and the direction of deflection, i.e., either upward or downward. The direction of the current is from the front wall to the back wall because negatively charged electrons move from the back wall to the front wall. The direction of the magnetic force is rightward. Hence, using Fleming’s left-hand rule, it can be concluded that the direction of the magnetic field inside the chamber is downward.

11. Draw a labelled diagram of an electric motor. Explain its principle and working. What is the function of a split ring in an electric motor?

An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. It works on the principle of the magnetic effect of current. The figure listed below shows a simple electric motor.

NCERT Solutions Class 10 Science Chapter 13 - 5

When current is made to flow through the coil MNST by closing the switch, the coil starts to rotate in the anticlockwise direction. This is due to the downward force acting on the length MN and simultaneously an upward force acting along the length ST. As a result of which, the coil rotates in the anticlockwise direction. Current in the length MN flows from M to N, and the magnetic fields act from left to right normal to the length MN. According to Fleming’s Left-Hand rule, a downward force acts along the length MN. Similarly, the current along the length ST flows from S to T and the magnetic field acts from left to right. Therefore, an upward force acts along the length ST. These two forces together cause the coil to rotate anti-clockwise. After half a rotation, the position of MN and ST interchange. The half-ring C comes in contact with brush B and the half-ring D comes in contact with rush C. Hence the direction of current in the coil MNST gets reversed.

12. Name some devices in which electric motors are used.

A few devices in which electric motors are used are:

  • Electric fans
  • Water pumps
  • Washing machines

13. A coil of insulated copper wire is connected to a galvanometer. What will happen if a bar magnet is (i) pushed into the coil, (ii) withdrawn from inside the coil, (iii) held stationary inside the coil?

(i) When a bar magnet is pushed into the coil, a current is induced in the coil momentarily. As a result, the galvanometer deflects in a particular direction momentarily.

(ii) When the bar magnet is withdrawn from inside the coil, a current is induced momentarily but in the opposite direction, and the galvanometer deflects in the opposite direction momentarily.

(iii) When the bar magnet is held stationary inside the coil, no current will be induced. As a result, there will be no deflection in the galvanometer.

14. Two circular coils A and B are placed closed to each other. If the current in the coil A is changed, will some current be induced in the coil B? Give reason.

When the current in coil A changes, the magnetic field associated with it also changes. As a result, the magnetic field around coil B undergoes change. The change in the magnetic field of coil B induces a current in it.

15. State the rule to determine the direction of a (i) magnetic field produced around a straight conductor-carrying current, (ii) force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to it, and (iii) current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field.

(i) The rule used to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced around a straight conductor-carrying current is Maxwell’s right-hand thumb rule.

(ii) The rule used to determine the force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to it is the Fleming’s left hand rule.

(iii) The rule used to determine the current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field is Fleming’s right-hand rule.

16. Explain the underlying principle and working of an electric generator by drawing a labelled diagram. What is the function of brushes?

The electric generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The working principle of the electric generator is electromagnetic induction. It generates electricity by rotating a coil in the magnetic field. The figure below shows the construction of a simple AC generator.

NCERT Solutions Class 10 Science Chapter 13 - 6

In the diagram,

A and B are brushes.

C and D are slip rings.

X is the axle.

G is the galvanometer.

When the axle X is rotated clockwise, MN moves upwards while ST moves downward. The movement of MN and ST in the magnetic field results in the production of electric current due to electromagnetic induction. MN moves upwards, and the magnetic fields act from left to right. Therefore, according to Fleming’s right hand rule, the direction of the induced current will be from M to N along the length MN. Similarly, the direction of the induced current will be from S to T along the length ST. The direction of the current in the coil is MNST. Hence, the galvanometer shows a deflection in a particular direction.

After half a rotation, length MN starts moving downwards while the length ST starts moving upwards. Now, the direction of the induced current reverses to TSNM. Since the direction of the induced current reverses every half rotation, the current induced is known as alternating current.

Function of Brushes

Brushes are kept pressed onto two slip rings separately. The outer ends of the brushes are connected to the galvanometer. Thus, brushes help in transferring current from the coil to the external circuit.

  • When does an electric short circuit occur?

Listed below are two instances of when a short-circuit can occur:

1) When too many appliances are connected to a single socket or when high power rating appliances are connected to a light circuit, the resistance of the circuit becomes low. As a result, the current flowing through the circuit becomes very high. This condition results in a short circuit.

2) When live wires whose insulation has worn off come in contact with each other, the current flowing in the circuit increases abruptly, which results in a short circuit.

18. What is the function of an earth wire? Why is it necessary to earth metallic appliances?

The metallic body of electric appliances is earthed by means of an earth wire. Any leakage of electric wire is transferred to the ground by means of the earth wire. This prevents the user of the electric appliance from getting electric shocks. This is the reason why it is important for metallic appliances to be earthed.
