उत्तर

Heating effect of electric current.
          When a P.D. is applied between the two ends of a wire, the free electrons move through the conductor from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. During their motion, the electrons collide with each other and also with the ions in the conductor. These collisions slow down the electrons, thereby resulting in the loss of their kinetic energy. This loss of kinetic energy appears in the form of heat.
           Appliances like the geyser, heater, electric iron, electric bulb, Fuse, Electric furnace, etc. work on the heating effect of electric current.

Two students decided to investigate the effect of water and air on iron object under identical experimental conditions. They measured the mass of each object before placing it partially immersed in 10 ml of water. After a few days, the object were removed, dried and their masses were measured. The table shows their results.

Student Object Mass of Object
before Rusting in g
Mass of the coated
object in g

B Thin plate 6.0 6.33

What might be the reason for the varied observations of the two students?


In a set up the students coated iron nails with zinc metal and noted that, iron nails coated with zinc prevents rusting.

Name this process of rust prevention and give any two other methods to prevent rusting.
