Class 10 Science - Chapter Magnetic effects of Electric Current NCERT Solutions | What is the role of the split ring in an

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?

In Activity 13.7, how do we think the displacement of rod AB will be affected if (i) current in rod AB is increased; (ii) a stronger horse-shoe magnet is used; and (iii) length of the rod AB is increased?

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.

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.

Outline a project which aims to find the dominant coat colour in dogs.

What are outside raw materials used for by an organism?

A hot plate of an electric oven connected to a 220 V line has two resistance coils A and B, each of 24 Ω resistance, which may be used separately, in series, or in parallel. What are the currents in the three cases?

Why should curd and sour substances not be kept in brass and copper vessels?

What is the difference between a reflex action and walking?

Which gas is usually liberated when an acid reacts with a metal? Illustrate with an example. How will you test for the presence of this gas?

What are the qualities of an ideal source of energy?

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?
