प्रश्न
The direction of current flowing in the coil of an electromagnet at its two ends X and Y are as shown below:
What is the polarity of end X?
What is the polarity of end Y?
Name and state the rule which you have used to determine the polarities.

उत्तर
The polarity of end X is south because current is flowing in clockwise direction at this end.
The polarity of end Y is north because current is flowing in anticlockwise direction at this end.
We have used clock face rule to determine the polarities.

Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
The home electrical connection consists of ‘live’, ‘neutral’ and ‘earth’ wires. The ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires have potential difference of 220 V. The ‘earth’ is connected to ground. Due to a fault in the equipment or if the plastic coating on the ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires gives a way the two wires come in contact with each other and a large current flows through it producing heat. If any inflammable material (such as wood, cloth, plastic, etc.) exists around that place it can catch fire. Therefore a fuse wire is used as a precautionary measure.
