State Fleming’s left-hand rule.
Fleming’s left hand rule states that if we arrange the thumb, the centre finger, and the forefinger of the left hand at right angles to each other, then the thumb points towards the direction of the magnetic force, the centre finger gives the direction of current, and the forefinger points in the direction of magnetic field.
The magnetic field in a given region is uniform. Draw a diagram to represent it.
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.
Explain the underlying principle and working of an electric generator by drawing a labelled diagram. What is the function of brushes?
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 positively-charged particle (alpha-particle) projected towards west is deflected towards north by a magnetic field. The direction of magnetic field is

(c) downward (d) upward
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?
Consider a circular loop of wire lying in the plane of the table. Let the current pass through the loop clockwise. Apply the right-hand rule to find out the direction of the magnetic field inside and outside the loop.
Draw magnetic field lines around a bar magnet.
