The magnetic lines of force, inside a current carrying solenoid are:

  • Along the axis and are parallel to each other

     

  • Perpendicular to axis and equidistant from each other

     

  • Circular and they do not intersect each other

     

  • Circular at the ends but they are parallel to the axis inside the solenoid

     

(1)

The figure shows the magnetic lines of forces the solenoid.



Q 13 :

In the diagram shown below, what is the component A:

  • Solenoid

     

  • Glass rod

     

  • Magnetic material

     

  • None of these

     

(3)

Here, A is a magnetic material on which solenoid as wrapped. As by passing current through it the magnetic material will become an electromagnet.



Q 14 :

Which of the following determine the direction of magnetic field due to a current carrying conductor?

  • Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction

     

  • Fleming's left hand rule

     

  • Lenz's law

     

  • Maxwell's cork screw-rule

     

(4)

According to Maxwell's Cork Screw-Rule, if we consider ourselves driving a cork screw in the direction of current, then the direction of the rotation of cork Screw is the direction of the Magnetic field.

 



Q 15 :

Which of the following is not an example of the right hand thumb rule?

  • D.C. motor

     

  • Solenoid

     

  • A.C. generator

     

  • Cartesian coordinate system

     

(4)

Cartesian Coordinate system is not an example of the right-hand thumb rule. The cartesian coordinate system is used for representing points in space using three perpendicular axes (X, Y and Z). It does not involve any magnetic field, current or force so the right-hand thumb rule does not apply here.



Q 16 :

Commercial motors do not use

  • an electromagnet to rotate the armature

     

  • effectively large number of turns of conducting wire in the current carrying coil

     

  • a permanent magnet to rotate the armature

     

  • a soft iron core on which the coil is wound

     

(3)

Commercial motors do not use permanent magnets because they are weak and do not produce strong magnetic field in the region.

 



Q 17 :

The process of inducing a current in a coil of wire by placing it in a region of changing magnetic field is:

  • Electrical effect

     

  • Heating effect of current

     

  • Magnetic effect of current

     

  • Electromagnetic induction

     

(4)

The process of inducing a current in a coil of wire by placing it in a region of changing magnetic field is electromagnetic induction.

 



Q 18 :

  • soft iron

     

  • steel

     

  • magnesium

     

  • copper

     

(1)

The core of electromagnet is made of soft iron due to following reasons:
(i) It can be easily magnetised and demagnetised.
(ii) It has low carbon content.
(iii) It has large susceptibility and small retentivity.
(iv) It does not retain its magnetism when the current is switched off.
(v) It is less corrosive.

 



Q 19 :

Fleming's Right-hand rule gives:

  • Magnitude of the induced current.

     

  • Magnitude of the magnetic field.

     

  • Direction of the induced current.

     

  • Both, direction and magnitude of the induced current.

     

(3)

Fleming's Right hand rule gives the direction of the induced current.

Stretch the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of right hand so that they are perpendicular to each other. If forefinger indicates the direction of the magnetic field, thumb shows the direction of motion of conductor, then the middle finger will show the direction of induced current. We cannot find out the magnitude of either the induced current or magnetic field by this law.

 



Q 20 :

Which of the following property of a proton can change while it moves freely in a magnetic field?

  • Mass

     

  • Speed

     

  • Velocity

     

  • Charge

     

(3)

Velocity of a proton can change while it moves freely in a magnetic field because each moving charged particle in a magnetic field experiences a force. The direction of force experienced by a positively charged proton can be studied by Fleming’s Left-hand Rule.

The force acting on the proton would change both velocity and momentum when it moves freely in magnetic field. If a charged particle’s velocity is completely parallel to the magnetic field, the magnetic field will not exert any force on the particle, and thus the velocity will remain constant. Whereas, if the force is acting perpendicular to the direction of moving charge, work done will be zero. It means kinetic energy does not change. Hence, we can conclude that the force can change the direction of velocity of the proton but not its speed. Thus, momentum and velocity changes.

 



Q 21 :

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

  • towards south

     

  • towards east

     

  • downward

     

  • upward

     

(4)

A positively-charged particle (alpha-particle) projected towards west is deflected towards north by a magnetic field. The direction of magnetic field is upward. This can be explained by Fleming’s Left-hand Rule which states that if we stretch our thumb, forefinger and middle finger of our left hand perpendicular to each other in such a way that forefinger points the direction of magnetic field and middle finger points the direction of current then thumb will represent the direction of motion or the force acting on the conductor. Hence, upward is the correct answer.



Q 22 :

The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction is:

  • the process of charging a body.

     

  • the process of generating magnetic field due to a current passing through a coil.

     

  • producing induced current in a coil due to relative motion between a magnet and the coil.

     

  • the process of rotating a coil of an electric motor.

(3)

The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction is producing induced current in a coil due to relative motion between a magnet and the coil. When a coil is brought near the magnet, and a relative motion is generated between the two by either moving the magnet or the coil, the magnetic flux links through the coil changes. This change in the magnetic flux produces an emf or voltage and hence, subsequent electric current in the coil.

 



Q 23 :

  • Fleming’s left hand rule.

     

  • Fleming’s right hand rule.

     

  • Clock face rule.

     

  • Ampere’s swimming rule.

     

(1)

The direction of force acting on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field can be obtained by Fleming’s left hand rule. According to this rule, when a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and to the direction of the current flow.

  • Electromagnetism

     

  • Electric generator

     

  • Electric Motor

  • Right-hand thumb rule – Direction of force

     

  • Galvanometer – Adjust current in circuit

     

  • Earth wire – Red colour

     

  • MRI – Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI is a technique used to obtain the image of different body parts by using magnetic field.



Q 26 :

The strength of magnetic field inside a long current-carrying straight solenoid is:

  • More at the ends then at the center

     

  • Minimum in the middle

     

  • Same at all points

     

  • Found to increase from one end to the another

     

(3)

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is proportional to both the applied current and the number of turns per unit length. There is no dependence on the diameter of the solenoid, and the field strength does not depend on the position inside the solenoid, i.e., the field inside is constant.

The magnetic field is nearly uniform field in the center, i.e., inside of a long solenoid and the field outside is weak and divergent.

  • Thumb – force

     

  • Fore finger – magnetic field

     

  • Middle finger – current

     

  • All of these

     

(4)

According to Fleming's left hand rule stretch the thumb, fore finger and middle finger of your left hand side that they are mutually perpendicular. If the first finger points in the direction of magnetic field and second finger in the direction of current, then thumb will point in the direction of force.

 



Q 29 :

Mutual induction is a process in which current is induced in the neighbouring coil if current flows in a coil. In the figure shown below:

  • Maximum in situation (A)

     

  • Maximum in situation (B)

     

  • Maximum in situation (C)

By removing the inducing magnets, the induced magnetism is:

  • Finished after sometime

     

  • Finished just after

     

  • Non-finished for a long time

     

  • Not Charged

     

(2)

As induced magnetism takes place, as long as the induced magnet is present.
