2. A rectangular coil of copper wires is rotated in a magnetic field. The direction of the induced current changes once in each

(a) two revolutions (b) one revolution (c) half revolution (d) one-fourth revolution.

3. Permanent magnets are made up of

CBSE TEST PAPER -2012-13 Answers

Time: 1hr.  CHAPTER: MAGNETIC EFFECT OF CURRENT             FM: 30

1.  Ans. (a) Toward south.

2. (c) half revolution

3.(a) Alnico     (b) soft iron  (c) copper (d) aluminum.

4.(c) velocity

5.(d) out of the page

6. Ans.  As the frequency is 50 Hz, so a.c. completes 50 cycles in 1 second. In other words, it reverses its direction 100 times in one second.

7.Ans: Earth wire is connected to the metallic case of an electrical appliance to  protect from electric shock by transferring excess amount of current to the earth.

8. Ans:  Weber : The magnetic flux linked with a surface is defined as the number of magnetic field lines passing normally through that surface.

9 .  Ans. We can increase the speed of rotation of a D.C.  motor by increasing (i) area of the coil   (ii) number of turns in the coil   (iii) magnetic field and (iv) current.

10.  Ans: The two magnetic field lines never intersect each other because at the point of intersection there will be two directions of magnetic field, which is not possible

11.  Ans: A coil of many turns of insulated copper wire closely wound in the shape of a ring is known as a solenoid.

12.  Ans(a) when live wire and the neutral wires come in contact with each other resistance of the circuit becomes very small and huge amount of current flows and produces large heat which can cause fire. This phenomenon is called short circuiting (b). If  many electrical appliances of high power ratings are connected in a single socket large amount of current  starts flowing in the circuit. This phenomenon is called overloading. It can be avoided by the following methods (i) Not use too many appliance is a single socket (ii) To apply preventive methods of short circuiting.

13. Ans: If the current in the coil facing you is flowing in clockwise direction then its the south pole. If the current is flowing in anti clockwise direction, then its the north pole.

14. Ans: Inside the loop, direction of the magnetic field lines are into the table. Outside the loop the magnetic field lines are coming out of the table.

15.  Ans: (a) The maximum force is exerted on a current carrying conductor only when it is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field. (b)The minimum force or can say no force acts on a current carrying conductor when it is parallel to the magnetic field.
