Q. Draw an appropriate schematic diagram showing common domestic

circuits and discuss the importance of fuse. Why is it that a burnt out fuse
should be replaced by another fuse of identical rating?
Solution
A fuse in a circuit prevents damage to the
appliances and the circuit due to overloading.
Otherwise, the appliances or the circuit may be
damaged. When current in the circuit exceeds
the value of fuse rating, the fuse wire burns due
to overloading. This causes a gap in the circuit
and the current stops flowing in the circuit. This
is done due to the reason so that the circuit or the
appliances to be connected in the circuit
continue functioning without any damage in
future.

Q. Name and state the law which is used to determine the direction of force
on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.
Solution
Fleming’s left hand rule: Stretch the forefinger, middle finger and the thumb of
your left hand mutually perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger indicates the
direction of magnetic field and the middle finger indicates the direction of current,
then the thumb will indicate the direction of motion of conductor.

Q. A compass needle is placed near a current-carrying wire. State your

observation for the following cases, and give reason for the same in each case.
A Magnitude of electric current in the wire is increased.
B The compass needle is displaced away from the wire.
a) As the amount of magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the

amount of current, so the deflection of the compass needle increases.
b) Since t=magnetic field strength at a point is inversely proportional to the

distance from the wire. Hence deflection of the compass decreases when it is
displaced away from the conductor.
Q. What is the function of an earth wire? Why is it necessary to earth

metallic appliances?
Q. What is the function of an earth wire? Why is it necessary to earth

metallic appliances?
Solution
The earth wire, which has insulation of green colour, is usually connected to a metal
plate deep in the earth near the house. This is used as a safety measure, especially
for those appliances that have a metallic body, for example, electric press, toaster,
table fan, refrigerator, etc. The metallic body is connected to the earth wire, which
provides a low-resistance conducting path for the current. Thus, it ensures that any
leakage of current to the metallic body of the appliance keeps its potential to that of
the earth, and the user may not get a severe electric shock.
Q. When does an electric short circuit occur?

Q. When does an electric short circuit occur?
Solution
Overloading can occur when the live wire and the neutral wire come into direct contact. (This
occurs when the insulation of wires is damaged or there is a fault in the appliance.) In such a
situation, the current in the circuit abruptly increases. This is called short-circuiting. The use of an
electric fuse prevents the electric circuit and the appliance from a possible damage by stopping
the flow of unduly high electric current. The Joule heating that takes place in the fuse melts it to
break the electric circuit. Overloading can also occur due to an accidental hike in the supply
voltage. Sometimes overloading is caused by connecting too many appliances to a single socket.
