(iW) The burnt out fuse should be replaced by another fuse of identical rating. Ans Give reaso! (i) Magnetie field lines diverge from N-pole and ‘canverge at S-pole because strength of magnetic field is higher near the poles. (i) Current carrying solenoid acts as a bar magnet which resis in Northsouth direction when suspended freely. (iii) The burnt out fuse cannot be reused. Also, if ‘a fuse with larger rating is used, the fase wire will melt and heuee would fail to serve the requiredpurpose.
