    Plastic insulation surrounds a wire having diameter d and length l as shown above. A decrease
    in the resistance of the wire would be produced by an increase in the
    (a) length l of the wire
    (b) diameter d of the wire
    (c) temperature of the wire
    (d) thickness of the plastic insulation
    2 A student carries out an experiment and plots the V-I graph of three samples of nichrome
    wire with resistances R1, R2 and R3 respectively (see below Figure). Which of the following
    is true?

    (a) R1 = R2 = R3 (b) R1 > R2 > R3 (c) R3 > R2 > R1 (d) R2 > R3 > R1

    to make its resistance 10Ω?
    5 (a)An electric iron consumes energy at a rate of 880 W when heating is at the maximum rate and 330
    W when the heating is at the minimum. If the source voltage is 220 V, calculate the current and the
    resistance in each case.

    acting on the electron will be

    7 Imagine that you are sitting in a chamber with your back to one wall. An electron beam, moving
    horizontally from back wall towards the front wall, is deflected by a strong magnetic field to your right
    side. What is the direction of magnetic field?
    8 Define a solenoid. Compare the magnetic field produced by a solenoid with that of a bar magnet.
    9 Priyanka fixes a sheet of white paper on a drawing board. She places a bar magnet in the center
    of it. She sprinkles some iron filings uniformly around the bar magnet. Then she taps the board
    gently and observes that the iron filings arrange themselves in a particular pattern.
    a) What do the lines along which the iron fillings align represent?
    b) What does the crowding of iron filings at the end of the magnet indicate?
    10 Mention the angle between a current carrying conductor and magnetic field for which the force
    experienced by this current carrying conductor placed in the magnetic field is largest?
    11 AB is a current-carrying conductor in the plane of the paper as shown in figure. What are the
    directions of magnetic fields produced by it at point P and Q? Given r 1 >r 2 , where will the
    strength of the magnetic field be larger?

    12 Diagram shows the lengthwise section of a current carrying solenoid. ⦻ indicates


    current entering into the page, ⨀ indicates current emerging out of the page.
    Decide which end of the solenoid A or B, will behave as north pole. Give reason for
    your answer. Also draw field lines inside the solenoid.
