If you touch an electric wire carrying current you get a shock, but if on the same wire the birds sit they do not get any shock/current. Explain why?
Study the three electric circuits below. Each of them has a glass rod (G), a steel rod (S), and a wooden rod (W).
In which of the electric circuits would the bulb not light up.

Assertion: In an open circuit, the current passes from one terminal of the electric cell to another.
Reason: Generally, the metal disc of a cell acts as a positive terminal.
When an electric current flows through a copper wire AB as shown in the following figure, the wire

Three bulbs A, B, C are connected in a circuit as shown in the following figure. When the switch is ‘ON’

The ______ is a species of fish that can give electric shocks of up to six hundred fifty watts of electricity.
An electric motor rated 1100 W is connected to 220 V mains. Find:
- The current drawn from the mains,
- Electric energy consumed if the motor is used for 5 hours daily for 6 days.
- Total cost of energy consumed if the rate of one unit is 5.
Set up the circuit shown in Figure again. Move the key to ‘ON’ position and watch carefully in which direction the compass needle gets deflected. Switch ‘OFF’ the current. Now keeping rest of the circuit intact, reverse the connections at the terminal of the cell. Again switch ‘on’ the current. Note the direction in which the needle gets deflected. Think of an explanation.
