1.

What do you mean by magnetic field and magnetic field lines?

2.

Draw magnetic field lines around a bar magnet. Where are the field lines more crowded? Give
reason.

3.

List the properties of magnetic field lines of force. (four)

4.

Is magnetic field a scalar quantity?

5.

Sketch the magnetic field lines due to a current through a straight conductor.

6.

State the Right hand thumb rule.

7.

What are the factors on which the intensity (strength) of the magnetic field due to a current
carrying conductor depends?

8.

Draw a rough sketch of the pattern of magnetic field lines due to a current flowing into a
circular loop and circular coil.

9.

What kind of magnetic field is produced by a current carrying circular coil?

10.

With the help of neat labeled diagram, describe briefly the force experienced by a current
carrying conductor in magnetic field.

11.

What are the factors on which the force acting on the current carrying conductor depends?

12.

What is the principle of an electric motor?

13.

What do you mean by electromagnetic induction?

14.

Name the rule used to determine the direction of induced current in a conductor.

15.

A metallic coil is connected to a galvanometer. What do you observe if a bar magnet is

a) Held stationary inside the coil?
b) Pushed towards the coil?
c) Pulled away from the coil?
