Chapter 14 -Electric current and its effect
Exercise
Q1. Draw in your notebook the symbols to represent the following components of electric circuits : connecting wires switch in the off position sell switch in the on position and battery
Answer -
Q2. Draw the circuit diagram to represent the circuit shown in figure 14 . 21.
Q3. Figure 14 .22 show found four cells fixed on a board draw lines to indicate how you will connect their terminals with wires to make a battery of four cells?
Answer -
Q4. A bulb in a circuit shown in a figure 14 . 23 does not glow can you identify the problem make necessary changes in the circuit to make the bulb glow
Answer - Because in battery both the positive terminals are join to each other but it is not possible When two similar terminals are attached to each other electricity will not be flow from it . If we turn the position of any one cell of them then the bulb becomes glow
Q 5. Name any two effect of electric current ?
Answer - Two effect of electric current are
- Heating effect of electric current
- eg. Electric iron electric heater etc.
- Magnetic effect of electric current
- Eg. Electric bell electromagnet electric toy etc
Q6. When the current is switched on through a wire a compass needle kept nearby get deflected from its North and South position explain?
Answer - When current is passing through the wire then it shows the magnetic behaviour when the compass needle get nearby it then due to magnetic effect of electric current it change its position north to south
Q7. Will the compass needle shows deflection when the switch in the circuit shown in figure
14 .24 is closed .
Answer - Circuit shown in figure 14.24 is not complete so the wire does not act as a magnet and there is no fluctuation of compass needle if we placed it in contact with wire
Q8. Fill in the blanks
a) Longer lines in the symbol for a cell represent its positive terminal .
b) The combinations of two or more cells is called a battery.
c) When current is switched on in a room heater is it produces heat
d) The safety device based on the heating effect of electric current is called from fuse.
Q9. Mark T if the statement is true and F if it is false
a) To make a date tree of two cells the negative terminal of once a is connected to the negative terminal of other cell.
b) When electric current through the fuse exceeds a certain limit the fuse wire melts and breaks
c) An electromagnet does not attract a piece of iron .
d) An electric bell has an electromagnet .
Answer - a) false
b) true
c) false
d) true
Q10. Do you think an electromagnet can be used for separating plastic bags from a garbage heap explain ?
Answer - Electromagnets are only attract the magnetic material like iron, Cobalt and nickel but plastic bags are non magnetic materials therefore electromagnet cannot be used for separating the plastic bags from the garbage off heap
Q11. An electrician is carrying out some repairs in your house we want to replace a fuse by a piece of wire would you agree give reason for your response?
Answer - No the electrician not replace the used by the piece of wire because the wire used in fuse has low melting point so it can prevent the electronic gadgets by high current . And many of the wires have high melting point so it could not prevent the extra electric current.
Q12. Zubeda made an electric circuit using a cell holder shown in figure 14.4 a switch and a bulb when she put the switch in the on position the bulb did not glow help the weather in identifying the possible defect in the circuit ?
Answer- There are two conditions whether we are identifying the possible defect of the circuit
1. Two opposite terminals are attached to each other then the current will be pass
2. The rubber of the cell holder are properly tight so the two terminals are properly contact with each other and completed the circuit
Q13. In the circuit shown in figure 14. 25
i) Would any of the bulb glow when the switch is in the off position.
ii) What will be the other in which the bulbs A, B and C will glow when the switch is moved to the on position .
Answer- 1. Know if the switch is in off position then current will not be flow from the circuit
2. When the the switch is in on position then all the bulbs are glow at a time because all they are attached with same battery and same switch
