Sample Questions

1multiple correct

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.

2multiple correct

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.

3multiple choice

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.

4multiple correct

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.
