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

   (a) towards south                 (b) towards east
   (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.

State Fleming’s left-hand rule.

List the properties of magnetic field lines.

Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution change when an iron nail is dipped in it?

What change will you observe if you test soap with litmus paper (red and blue)?

You must have seen tarnished copper vessels being cleaned with lemon or tamarind juice. Explain why these sour substances are effective in cleaning the vessels.
