quantity that will remain the same between the two points is
(a) Current (b) Voltage (c) Resistance (d) None of these

II. Answer the following questions. 3x1=3

3. Define electric current.
4. Why does a compass needle get deflected when brought near a bar magnet ?
5. What is the role of the split ring in an electric motor ?

III. Answer the following questions. 3x2=6

6.State Ohms law.
7. Draw magnetic field lines around a bar magnet. Name the device which is used to draw
magnetic field lines.
8. A compass needle is placed near a current carrying straight conductor. State your
observation for the following cases and give reasons for the same in each case.
(a) Magnitude of electric current is increased.
(b) The compass needle is displaced away from the conductor.
IV. Answer the following questions. 3 x 3 = 9
9. Give reason for the following
(i) There is either a convergence or a divergence of magnetic field lines near the ends of a
current carrying straight solenoid.
(ii) The current carrying solenoid when suspended freely rests along a particular direction.
10. Write the mathematical expression for Joules law of heating.
OR
What is heating effect of current? List two electrical appliances which work on this effect.
11. State whether an alpha particle will experience any force in a magnetic field if (alpha
particles are positively charged particles)
(i) it is placed in the field at rest.
(ii) it moves in the magnetic field parallel to field lines.
(iii) it moves in the magnetic field perpendicular to field lines.
Justify your answer in each case.
V. Answer the following questions. 4 x 2 = 8
12. An electric lamp of 100 Ω, a toaster of resistance 50 Ω, and a water filter of resistance
500 Ω are connected in parallel to a 220 V source. What is the resistance of an electric
iron connected to the same source that takes as much current as all three appliances,
and what is the current through it?
13. Give reasons for the following:
(a) It is dangerous to touch the live wire of the main supply rather than neutral wire.
(b) In household circuit, parallel combination of resistances is used.
(c) Using fuse in a household electric circuit is important
