Why do we cover plug pin holes which are within the reach of children with cellotape or a plastic cover when not in use?

उत्तर

The child may put his/her fingers into the socket and he/she may get an electric shock which could be fatal. Plastic/cellotape is a bad conductor of electricity and hence chances of electric shock get reduced.

An electric bell has an electromagnet. 


Fill in the following blank with suitable words:

 If a coil is viewed from one end and the current flows in an anticlockwise direction, then this end is a ........... pole.


Fill in the following blank with suitable words: 

 If a coil is viewed from one end, and the current flows in a clockwise direction, then this end is a ........... pole.


A coil is connected to a galvanometer. When the N-pole of magnet is pushed into the coil, the galvanometer deflected to the right. What deflection, if any, is observed when: 

 the S-pole is inserted?


In the Activity shown below, how do we think the displacement of rod AB will be affected if

  1. current in rod AB is increased
  2. a stronger horse-shoe magnet is used
  3. length of the rod AB is increased?
  • Take a small aluminium rod AB (of about 5 cm). Using two connecting wires suspend it horizontally from a stand, as shown in Fig.
  • Place a strong horse-shoe magnet in such a way that the rod lies between the two poles with the magnetic field directed upwards. For this put the north pole of the magnet vertically below and south pole vertically above the aluminium rod (Fig.).
  • Connect the aluminium rod in series with a battery, a key and a rheostat.
  • Now pass a current through the aluminium rod from end B to end A.
  • What do you observe? It is observed that the rod is displaced towards the left. You will notice that the rod gets displaced.
  • Reverse the direction of current flowing through the rod and observe the direction of its displacement. It is now towards the right.
  • Why does the rod get displaced?


A current-carrying rod, AB, experiences a force perpendicular to its length and the magnetic field. Support for the magnet is not shown here, for simplicity.


Name any two appliances which works on the phenomenon of magnetic effect of electric current.


What is that instrument which can detect the presence of electric current in a circuit?
