Important Questions from Electricity: Magnetic and Heating Effects
Which of the following are true about electromagnets?
Show answer
They work only when current flows through them, They have north and south poles, Iron core makes them stronger
Electromagnets are temporary magnets that work only when current flows. Like permanent magnets, they have poles. An iron core increases their magnetic strength.
What makes an electromagnet stronger?
Show answer
Increasing the number of turns in the coil, Using more cells (higher current), Adding an iron core
Electromagnet strength increases with more coil turns, higher current, and an iron core. Wire thickness doesn't directly affect magnetic strength.
Why are dry cells called 'dry'?
Show answer
The electrolyte is a thick paste, not liquid
Dry cells are called 'dry' because they use a paste-like electrolyte instead of liquid electrolyte, making them more convenient and portable.
Which of the following appliances work on the heating effect of electric current?
Show answer
Electric iron, Electric heater, Electric kettle, Hair dryer
Electric iron, heater, kettle, and hair dryer all use heating elements. Electric fan works on the magnetic effect (motor), not heating effect.
