Science, Chapter 4,Question Answer

Reshma can identify two magnets from three identical bars by checking for repulsion when paired. To find the poles of an unmarked magnet, one can use a marked magnet, where repulsion indicates the North pole. Additionally, a freely suspended magnet will point towards the geographical North, identifying its North pole, and the Earth's magnetic poles can be inferred from compass behavior.

Q5. Reshma bought three identical metal bars.

Out of these, two were


magnets and one was an iron bar. How will she identify the two magnets
(without using any other material)?

Answer: Bring the bars together in pairs and try both ends. The pair that
shows repulsion are the two magnets, because only two magnets can repel
each other. The remaining bar is the iron bar.

Q6. You are given a magnet without marked poles. How can you identify its
poles using another magnet with marked poles?

Answer: Bring the North pole of the marked magnet near each end of the
unmarked magnet. The end that repels it is the North pole, while the end
that attracts it is the South pole.

Q7. A bar magnet has no markings to indicate its poles. How would you find
its North pole without using another magnet?

Answer: Suspend the magnet freely with a thread. After it comes to rest, the
end pointing towards the geographical north is its North pole.

Q8. If the Earth is itself a magnet, can you guess the poles of Earth’s magnet
by looking at the direction of a magnetic compass?

Answer: Yes. Since the north-seeking end of a compass points towards the
geographical north, the Earth’s magnetic south pole lies near the
geographical North Pole, and its magnetic north pole lies near the
geographical South Pole.

Q9. While repairing a gadget, a mechanic found that steel screws kept falling
from the screwdriver. Suggest a solution.

Answer: Magnetise the tip of the screwdriver by rubbing it with one pole of a
magnet in the same direction several times. The screwdriver will then attract
and hold the steel screws.

Q10. Two ring magnets X and Y are arranged as shown. Magnet X does not
move down further. What could be the reason? How can you make X touch Y
without pushing either magnet?

Answer: The facing poles of the two magnets are like poles, so they repel
each other. Turn either magnet upside down so that unlike poles face each
other. The magnets will then attract, and X will come in contact with Y.

Q11. Three magnets are arranged as shown. Find the polarity at ends 1, 2, 3,
4 and 6. ()
