Class 10 Science - Chapter Magnetic effects of Electric Current NCERT Solutions | List two methods of producing magnetic f

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.

List the properties of magnetic field lines.

State Fleming’s left-hand rule.

Did Döbereiner’s triads also exist in the columns of Newlands’ Octaves? Compare and find out.

What is a good source of energy?

Why is diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multi-cellular organisms like humans?

What are trophic levels? Give an example of a food chain and state the different trophic levels in it.

What changes can you make in your habits to become more environment-friendly?

What is the difference between a reflex action and walking?

What is the importance of DNA copying in reproduction?

If a trait A exists in 10% of a population of an asexually reproducing species and a trait B exists in 60% of the same population, which trait is likely to have arisen earlier?

Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleared before burning in air?

Define the principal focus of a concave mirror.

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

In the electrolytic refining of a metal M, what would you take as the anode, the cathode and the electrolyte?

A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding tall pea plants bearing violet flowers with short pea plants bearing white flowers. The progeny all bore violet flowers, but almost half of them were short. This suggests that the genetic make-up of the tall parent can be depicted as

(a) TTWW
(b) TTww
(c) TtWW
(d) TtWw

A battery of 9 V is connected in series with resistors of 0.2 Ω, 0.3 Ω, 0.4 Ω , 0.5 Ω and 12 Ω, respectively. How much current would flow through the 12 Ω resistor?

On what factors does the resistance of a conductor depend?

The magnification produced by a plane mirror is +1. What does this mean?

How is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in human beings?

Calculate the number of electrons constituting one coulomb of charge.

How does the creation of variations in a species promote survival?

Give an example of a double displacement reaction other than the one given in activity 1.10.
