36. An electric bell is based on the principle of electromagnetism. It consists of an electromagnet, armature,
spring, hammer, and a gong. When the switch is pressed, current flows and the armature is attracted towards the
electromagnet. This movement makes the hammer strike the gong and at the same time breaks the circuit. The
cycle repeats very quickly and the bell rings continuously as long as the switch is pressed.

Answer the following questions:

[Link] the principle on which the electric bell [Link] part of the bell gets magnetised when the current
flows?[Link] role does the spring play in the working of an electric bell?[Link] does the gong produce a
continuous sound instead of a single strike?[Link] happens when the switch is released?

39. Ankit loves observing flowers in his school garden. One day, he noticed a bee visiting a bright marigold
flower. The bee moved from one flower to another, collecting nectar. Ankit wondered why the bee was visiting
flowers and what role the flower’s structure played in this [Link] teacher explained that flowers are
specially designed for reproduction. They have different parts such as:
Stamen ( the male part that produces pollen)
Pistil ( the female part that receives pollen)

Pollination is the process where pollen from the stamen reaches the pistil. In the case of the marigold, the bee
carried pollen from one flower and helped in pollination.

cross pollinatione) Give any one pollinating agent other than insects. Also write the name of the plant it
pollinates.
