Class 10 Science - Chapter Magnetic effects of Electric Current NCERT Solutions | How does a solenoid behave like a magnet

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

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?

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.

Draw magnetic field lines around a bar magnet.

List the properties of magnetic field lines.

State Fleming’s left-hand rule.

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.

Give an example of characteristics being used to determine how close two species are in evolutionary terms.

Can the wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bat be considered homologous organs? Why or why not?

What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? Name some organisms that use the anaerobic mode of respiration.

An example of homologous organs is

(a) our arm and a dog’s fore-leg.
(b) our teeth and an elephant’s tusks.
(c) potato and runners of grass.
(d) all of the above.

Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a battery of three cells of 2 V each, a 5 Ω resistor, an 8 Ω resistor, and a 12 Ω resistor, and a plug key, all connected in series.

What are the different ways in which glucose is oxidised to provide energy in various organisms?

What are fossils? What do they tell us about the process of evolution?

Will geographical isolation be a major factor in the speciation of a self-pollinating plant species? Why or why not?

A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding tall pea plants bearing violet flowers with short pea plants bearing white flowers. The progeny all bore violet flowers, but almost half of them were short. This suggests that the genetic make-up of the tall parent can be depicted as

(a) TTWW
(b) TTww
(c) TtWW
(d) TtWw

Compare and contrast fossil fuels and the Sun as direct sources of energy.
