parameters that are necessary to describe it completely.
State three factors on which the strength of magnetic field
produced by a current carrying solenoid depends.
(b) Draw circuit diagram of a solenoid to prepare an
electromagnet. (Board Term I, 2016)
(c) List two ways of increasing the strength of an
electromagnet if the material of the electromagnet is fixed.
(2020)
Describe an activity with labelled diagram to show that a
force acts on current carrying conductor placed in a
magnetic field and its direction of current through
conductor. Name the rule which determines the direction of
this force. (Board Term I, 2016)
Sahil performed an experiment to study the inheritance
pattern of genes. He crossed tall peaplants (TT) with short
pea plants (tt) and obtained all tall plants in F1 generation.
(i) What will be set of genes present in the F1 generation?
(ii) Give reason why only tall plants are observed in F1
progeny.
(iii) When F1 plants were self-pollinated, a total of 800
plants were produced. How many ofthese would be tall,
medium height or short plants? Give the genotype of F2
generation.
