The magnetic field in a given region is uniform. Draw a diagram to represent it.

How does a solenoid behave like a magnet? Can you determine the north and south poles of a current–carrying solenoid with the help of a bar magnet? Explain.

Explain the underlying principle and working of an electric generator by drawing a labelled diagram. What is the function of brushes?

A positively-charged particle (alpha-particle) projected towards west is deflected towards north by a magnetic field. The direction of magnetic field is

   (a) towards south                 (b) towards east
   (c) downward                       (d) upward

Draw a labelled diagram of an electric motor. Explain its principle and working. What is the function of a split ring in an electric motor?

Draw magnetic field lines around a bar magnet.

Consider a circular loop of wire lying in the plane of the table. Let the current pass through the loop clockwise. Apply the right-hand rule to find out the direction of the magnetic field inside and outside the loop.

List the properties of magnetic field lines.

Two circular coils A and B are placed closed to each other. If the current in the coil A is changed, will some current be induced in the coil B? Give reason.

State Fleming’s left-hand rule.

Did Döbereiner’s triads also exist in the columns of Newlands’ Octaves? Compare and find out.

What is a good source of energy?

Why is diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multi-cellular organisms like humans?

What are trophic levels? Give an example of a food chain and state the different trophic levels in it.

What changes can you make in your habits to become more environment-friendly?

What is the difference between a reflex action and walking?

What is the importance of DNA copying in reproduction?

If a trait A exists in 10% of a population of an asexually reproducing species and a trait B exists in 60% of the same population, which trait is likely to have arisen earlier?

Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleared before burning in air?

Define the principal focus of a concave mirror.

(a)  What property do all elements in the same column of the Periodic Table as boron have in common?
(b)  What property do all elements in the same column of the Periodic Table as fluorine have in common?

Do basic solutions also have H⁺(aq) ions? If yes, then why are these basic?

What is hydrogenation? What is its industrial application?

How many structural isomers can you draw for pentane?

Name a device that helps to maintain a potential difference across a conductor.

A copper wire has diameter 0.5 mm and resistivity of 1.6 × 10^–8 Ω m. What will be the length of this wire to make its resistance 10 Ω? How much does the resistance change if the diameter is doubled?

(a) Lithium, sodium, potassium are all metals that react with water to liberate hydrogen gas. Is there any similarity in the atoms of these elements?
(b) Helium is an unreactive gas and neon is a gas of extremely low reactivity. What, if anything, do their atoms have in common?

What are the problems caused by the non-biodegradable wastes that we generate?

In the refining of silver, the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal. Write down the reaction involved.

Why are decomposition reactions called the opposite of combination reactions? Write equations for these reactions.
