Sample questions

  1. 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. 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.
  3. 3.A cell of e.m.f. 1.8 V and internal resistance 2 Ω is connected in series with an ammeter of resistance 0.7 Ω and a resistor of 4.5 Ω as shown in Fig. 8.43. (a) What would be the reading of the ammeter? (b) What is the potential difference across the terminals of the cell?
  4. 4.What is the equivalent value of 1 kWh in joules?
    • A.3.6 × 10³ J
    • B.3.6 × 10⁵ J
    • C.3.6 × 10⁶ J
    • D.3.6 × 10⁷ J
  5. 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
