closeness of the field lines
2. A circular loop placed in a plane perpendicular to the plane of paper carries a
current when the ley is ON. The current as seen from the points A and B (in

respectively. The magnetic field lines point from B to A. The N-poles of the
resultant magnet is on the face close to
(a) A (b) B
(c) A if the current is small, B if current is large

3. For a current in a long straight solenoid N- and S- poles are created at the two
ends. Among the following statements, the incorrect statement is
(a) Field lines inside the solenoid are in the form of straight lines which
indicates that magnetic field is the same at all points inside the
solenoid
(b) Strong magnetic field produced inside the solenoid can be used to
magnetise a piece of magnetic material like soft iron, when placed
inside the coil
(c) The pattern of the magnetic field associated with the solenoid is
different from the pattern of the magnetic field around a bar magnet
(d) The N- and S- poles exchange position when the direction of current
through the solenoid is reversed
4. A uniform magnetic field exists in the plane of paper pointing from left to right.
In the field, an electron is moving top to bottom and proton is moving from
bottom to up. The electron and proton experience :
(a) Forces both pointing into the plane of paper
(b) Forces both pointing out of the plane of paper
(c) Forces pointing into the plane of paper and out pf the plane of paper
respectively
(d) Forces pointing opposite and along the direction of the uniform
magnetic field respectively
5. The magnetic field inside a long current-carrying straight solenoid is :
(a) More at the ends than at the centre
(b) Minimum in the middle
(c) Same at all points
(d) Found to increase from one end to the other
6. The most important safety method used for protecting home appliances from
short-circuiting or overloading is :
(a) earthing (b) use of fuse
(c) use of stabilizers (d) use of electric meter
7. Stablizers are used to protect electrical devices from
(a) Short circuit (b) Overloading
(c) overvoltage (d) induced current
8. When a large number of devices are connected from one source, the circuit is
(a) underloaded (b) overloaded
(c) closed (d) open
Following questions consist of two statements – Assertion(A) and
Reason(R). Answer these questions selecting the appropriate options :
(a) Both ‘A’ and ‘R’ are true and ‘R’ is correct explanation of the
assertion.
(b) Both ‘A’ and ‘R’ are true but ‘R’ is not correct explanation of the
assertion.
(c) ‘A’ is true but ‘R’ is false.
(d) ‘A’ is false but ‘R’ is true.
9. Assertion (A) : Magnetic field lines do not intersect.
Reason (R) : Magnetic field lines are closed curves.
10. Assertion (A) : Magnetic field lines have both direction and magnitude.
Reason (R) : The field lines, emerge from the north pole and merge at the south
pole.
11. Assertion (A) : A compass needle gets deflected when electric current is
passed through the nearly metallic wire.
Reason (R) : The S.I. unit of magnetic field strength is Oersted.
12. Assertion (A) : Magnetics are used to generate electricity.
Reason (R) : Electric current flowing through a wire produces magnetic magnetic
effect.
13. Assertion (A) : A current carrying solenoid behaves like a bar magnet.
Reason (R) : When a soft iron is placed inside the solenoid it can also be
magnetised.
14. A domestic electric circuit (220 V) has a fuse 5 A fuse. How many bulbs of
100 W; 220 V rating can be safely used on this line?
15. Find the minimum rating of fuse that can be safely used on a line on which
two 1.1 kW, electrical geysers are to run simultaneously the supply of voltage
is 220 V.
16. An electric oven of rating 2kW, 220 V is operated on domestic circuit that has
a current rating of 5A. What results do you expect? Explain.
17. An air conditioner of 2 kW is used in an electric circuit having a fuse of 10 A
rating. If the potential difference of the supply is 220 V, will the fuse able to
withstand, when the air conditioner is switched on? Justify your answer.
