Sample questions
-
1.Which is not the property of a solenoid? The magnetic field of solenoid can be increased
- a.by increasing the number of turns in the solenoid.
- b.by placing a laminated soft iron core within the solenoid.
- c.by increasing the strength of current flowing through the solenoid.
- d.by placing a stainless steel core within the solenoid.
-
2.Which of the following correctly states a dissimilarity between a current-carrying solenoid and a bar magnet?
- A.A solenoid's magnetic field strength is fixed, while a bar magnet's field strength can be varied by changing the current.
- B.The magnetic field direction of a solenoid cannot be reversed, but the field direction of a bar magnet can be reversed by reversing the current.
- C.The strength of the magnetic field due to a solenoid can be changed by varying the current, whereas the magnetic field strength of a bar magnet is fixed.
- D.Both a solenoid and a bar magnet have fixed magnetic field strengths and directions that cannot be altered.

5.Experimentally, it is observed that when current flows through a conductor placed in a magnetic field, the force acting on the conductor depends on: (1) the force F is directly proportional to the current I flowing in the wire, (2) the force F is directly proportional to the strength of magnetic field B, and (3) the force F is directly proportional to the length l of the wire within the magnetic field. Which formula correctly represents the force F acting on the conductor?
- A.F = I + B + l
- B.F = I B / l
- C.F = I B l
- D.F = I² B l
