So needle shows n¢ deflection. (ii) Since, the bar magnet is at rest and the coil is moving away from the magnet, needle of the galvanometer coil swing towards right. (iii) When the magnet will move towards the coil, the needle swings to the left Or (i) The galvanometer shows a deflection which ‘means current is induced in the coil. Current is induced in the coil due to the relative motion between coil and magnet (ii) The galvanometer shows a deflection in opposite direction which means current is induced in opposite direction. In this ease, the direction of motion is in the opposite direction w-r. coil. (Gil) There is no deflection in galvanometer as no current is induced in the coil.

(i) A is syphilis and Bis gonorrhoea, The bacteria which causes this disease spread through sexual contact with an infected person. (ii) The disease B is AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and itis caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). 5. The phenotype of seeds in plants obtained in the F,-generation from a cross between plants with round and yellow (RRYY) seeds and plants with wrinkled and green (rryy) seeds will be round and. yellow seeds. Or Pia ce combination of genes = 54x26 Sx=6-5 x2 7. Ateach trophic level, a lange proportion g energy is utilised for the maintenance of organisms occurring at that structure trophic level. Organisms get less and less energy at successive level. So, decrease in energy at higher trophic level limits the number of trophic levels in a food chain, Or No, removal of all organisms of a trophic level will disturb the ecosystem. Killing of higher trophic level organisms will cause explosion in the population of lowerlevel organisms. This will adversely affect the ecosystem, 8, (i) Magnetic field lines due to a solenoids shown below : (ii) In case of an ideal solenoid, magnetic field strength is maximum at point A and is minimum or zero at point B Tht is because the magnetic field is trong, ‘where magnetic field lines are crowded and is weak, where magnetic field linet are far apart. ‘At the point C the density of the field Jines is less than that of point A but greater than that of point B So, the order of magnetic field a points A, Band Cis By < Be < By.paperselence Class X (Term Il) ey sin various allotropic forms +.Cost of energy to operate the refrigerator orn et tlerene (Cg) one of the for 30 days 2 i $ Reed ‘ofearbon with cage-like =90 kWh x45 per kWh ae =? 405 eon Ce ae (i) Given, potential difference, V = 220 V Bows Current, 1=06 A Ox Time, t =2 min = 120s a Power, P=? ty We know that, srestectrons dot structire of Cly is power, P= VI =220x06=132 W @ and E= Pt=132 x 120 = 15840) () So, the power of fan is 132 W and it transforms 15840 J of energy. total member of unpaired electron is 6. 12+ (i) Since, the magnet is at rest, so no current is Tsmeans on each chlorine, 3 pair of induced in the coil.
