WORKSHEET 2 (MAGNETIC EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT) CLASS X
1. Name some devices in which electric motors are used.

2. A coil of insulated copper wire is connected to a galvanometer. What will happen if a bar magnet is (i) pushed
into the coil, (ii) withdrawn from inside the coil, (iii) held stationary inside the coil?
3. State the rule to determine the direction of a (i) magnetic field produced around a straight conductor-carrying
current, (ii) force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field which is
perpendicular to it, and (iii) current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field.
4. When does an electric short circuit occur?
5. What is the function of an earth wire? Why is it necessary to earth metallic appliances?
6. CASE STUDY 1:
Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v)
The magnetic field pattern around a bar magnet is shown in adjoining Figure. This has been traced by using a
plotting compass. The magnetic field lines leave the north pole of a magnet and enter its south pole. In other
words, each magnetic field line is directed from the north pole of a magnet to its south pole. Each field line
indicates, at every point on it, the direction of magnetic force that would act on a north pole if it were placed at
that point. The strength of magnetic field is indicated by the degree of closeness of the field lines. Where the field
lines are closest together, the magnetic field is the strongest
(i) The magnetic field lines produced by a bar magnet :

(a) originate from the south pole and end at its north pole
(b) originate from the north pole and end at its east pole
(c) originate from the north pole and end at its south pole
(d) originate from the south pole and end at its west pole
(ii) The magnetic field lines :

(a) intersect at right angles to one another (b) intersect at an angle of 45° to each other
(c) do not cross one another (d) cross at an angle of 60° to one another
(iii) The north pole of earth’s magnet is in the :

(a) geographical south (b) geographical east
(c) geographical west (d) geographical north
(iv) A plotting compass is placed near the south pole of a bar magnet. The
pointer of plotting compass will :
(a) point away from the south pole (b) point parallel to the south pole
(c) point towards the south pole (d) point at right angles to the south pole
(v) Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding magnetic field lines ?
(a) The direction of magnetic field at a point is taken to be the direction in which the north pole of a magnetic
compass needle points.
(b) Magnetic field lines are closed curves
(c) If magnetic field lines are parallel and equidistant, they represent zero field strength
(d) Relative strength of magnetic field is shown by the degree of closeness of the field lines
CASE STUDY 2:
Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v)
When a current is passed through the circular loop of wire, a magnetic field lines near the coil are nearly circular
and concentric. At the centre of the circular loop, the magnetic field lines are straight. The strength of the
magnetic field produced by a current-carrying circular coil (or circular wire) depends on (i) current flowing
through the coil. (ii) radius of the circular coil. (iii) number of turns of wire in the circular coil. The direction of
the field lines can be found by applying right-hand thumb rule.
(i) A long horizontal power line is carrying a current of 100 A in the east-west direction.
What is the direction of magnetic field at a point 1.0 m below it?
(a) North-South (b) East-West (c) South-East (d) North-West
(ii) State the pattern of magnetic field lines for current carrying circular conductor.
(a) Magnetic field lines will be concentric circles to any point of the circular loop
(b) At centre, the field lines appear straight
(c) Both of these (d) None of these
(iii) If a current carrying straight conductor is placed in east-west direction, then find the
direction of the force experienced by the conductor due to earth's magnetic field.
(a) Upward (b) Downward (c) Can't determined (d) Same as of current
(iv) According to right-hand thumb rule direction of the curl of fingers of the right hand
gives the
(a) electric field lines (b) magnetic field lines (c) direction of magnetic field (d) direction of current
(v) In case of circular loop carrying current, the strength of magnetic field is
(a) constant everywhere (b) stronger inside the loop than outside the loop
(c) weaker inside the loop than outside the loop (d) none of these
