1. A rectangular coil of copper wire is rotated in a magnetic field) The direction of induced current changes once in each ?

One-fourth revolution

Half revolution

One revolution

Two revolutions

Answer: Half revolution

Explanation:


2. choose the statement which is/ are incorrect ?

The core of an electromagnet must be soft iron because soft iron losses all of its magnetism when current in the coil is switched off.

If steel is used for making the core of an electromagnet, the steel does not lost all its magnetism when the current is stopped and it becomes a permanent magnet.

An electromagnet is a magnet consisting of a long coil of insulated copper wire wrapped around a soft iron core that is magnetized only when electric current is passed through the coil.

None of the above.

Answer: all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Explanation:


3. On increasing number of turns magnetic field of a solenoid ?

Answer: Soft iron

Explanation:


5. A 3-Pin mains plug is fitted to the cable for a 1 kw electric kettle to be used on a 250 v a.c. supply. which of the following statements is not correct ?

A 13 A fuse is the most appropriate value to use

The green wire should be connected to the earth pin.

The fuse should be fitted in the live wire

The neutral wire is coloured black

Answer: A 13 A fuse is the most appropriate value to use

Explanation:

Given: P = 1 kW = 1000 W V = 250 V ? Current, I = P/V = 1000/250 = 4 A Because the current drawn is 4 A, a fuse of 13 A cannot be considered the most appropriate.


6. Which of the following statement is or are correct ?

The direction of magnetic field at a point is the direction of the resultant force acting on a hypothetical north pole place at that point

The magnetic field lines always begin from the N-pole of a magnet and end on the S-pole of the magnet.

The space surrounding a magnet in which magnetic force is exerted is called a magnetic field

All the above

Answer: All the above

Explanation:

all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].


7. The most important safety method used for protecting home appliances from short-circuiting or Overloading is ?

use of electric meter

use of fuse

use of stabilizers

earthing

Answer: use of fuse

Explanation:


8. Earth wire carries ?

heat

voltage

current

no current

Answer: no current

Explanation:

Earth wire carries no current.


9. Which of the following statement is not correct about the magnetic field ?

Outside the magnet, magnetic field lines go from South to North pole of the magnet.

Direction of tangent at any point on the magnetic field line curve gives the direction of magnetic field at that point.

Magnetic field line do not interest each other.

Magnetic field lines form a continuous closed curve.

Answer: Outside the magnet, magnetic field lines go from South to North pole of the magnet.

Explanation:


10. Overloading is due to ?

accidental hike in supply voltage

fault in the appliances

Insulation of wire is damaged

All of the above

Answer: All of the above

Explanation:
