Q.13 Why is the earth pin thicker and longer than the live and the neutral pins?
Q.14 A coil of insulated copper wire is connected to a galvanometer. What would
happen if a bar magnet is
(i)
Pushed into the coil?
(ii)
Withdrawn from inside the coil?
(iii)
Held stationary inside the coil?
A.11 The direction of earths magnetic field is from G-south to G-north. Let current
is from west to east. Therefore force is vertically upwards.
(a) By reversing the direction of current, the direction of will be reversed i.e.
vertically downwards.
(b) The magnitude of the force is doubled.
A.12 When a conductor carrying current is placed perpendicular to the direction of
magnetic field, the acting on it is given by Flemings left hand rule. Since the
direction of current is the same as that of the motion of a positive charge, the
direction of force acting on it when moving perpendicular to the direction of
magnetic field is the same as that acting on a current-carrying conductor placed
perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field. Obviously, the force acting on an
electron is opposite to that. Therefore in this case it is into the page.
A.13 It is thicker so that it does not enter into the live or neutral sockets. It is made
longer so that it gets connected to the earth terminal earlier than the live and neutral
pins. This ensures the safety of the user.
A.14 (i) Due to change in magnetic flux linked with coil, the galvanometer shows
deflection (say towards right).
(ii) Due to change in magnetic flux linked with coil, the galvanometer shows
deflection (say towards left opposite to that in case one).
(iii) As it is stationary no change in magnetic flux linked with coil, so
galvanometer shows no deflection.
(b) Name one material in each case which is used to make a (i) permanent magnet
(ii) Temporary magnet.
Q.9 Draw a sketch of the patten of field lines due to a (i) current flowing in a circular
coin (ii) current carrying solenoid.
Q.10 A circuit has a fuse of 5A. What is the maximum number of 100W, 220V
bulbs that can be safely used in the circuit.
