2. Heating coil in an electric heater is made from Nichrome.


3. A combination of Cells is called a battery.

4. The fuse is made from the material that has High melting point.

5. The core of an electromagnet is made from iron .

C. State True or False. Also correct the false statement.

1. In a battery, the cells are connected in the positive-to-positive manner. Positive-to-negative


manner

2. An iron rod cannot be made an electromagnet, if the coil is connected to an AC source. Can be
made into an electromagnet

current

E. Assertion-Reason

For question numbers 1 to 5, two statements are given one labelled Assertion (A) and the other
labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d)
as given below:

(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.

(d) Assertion is false but Reason is true.

One has been done for you as an example.


EXAMPLE

Assertion (A): Copper cannot be used as the fuse wire.

Reason (R): Copper does not melt easily.

Explanation: (a), A fuse wire must have low melting point so that it can melt and break in case of
excessive current. Thus, Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A)

1. Assertion (A): Electric current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit.

Reason (R) An electric fuse prevents the circuit in case of excessive current

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

2. Assertion (A): When an electric current passes through a wire, its temperature increases and it m
heated

Reason (R) An electric bell works on the heating effect of electric current.

(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false

3. Assertion (A): Heating effect of the current depends on the length and thickness of the wire.

Reason (R) Wires of different lengths and different thickness are used for different purposes.

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

4. Assertion (A): An electromagnet retains its magnetism as long as current passes through it.

Reason (R) : An electromagnet is a temporary magnet.

(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

5. Assertion (A): The copper wire used in connections does not get heated when current flows
through the circuits,

Reason (R): Copper is a good conductor and offers very little resistance the current.

(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

II. SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

1. What is an open circuit?

When the circuit is not fully connected, it is known as open circuit

2. Why do not tube lights (or fluorescent tubes) generate heat?


tube lights (or fluorescent tubes) doesn’t generate heat because most of the energy is spend on
producing light rather than heat

3. What is an electric fuse? Where it is placed in the circuit?

It is one-time safety device which works on the basis of heating effect of current

4. On which effect of current, electric bell is based?

Magnetic effect of current

5. Write any two uses of an electromagnet.

It is used in Cranes, Fans

III. LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

1. The bulb in the circuit shown alongside does not glow. Where is the fault in the circuit? Correct
the fault and redraw the circuit diagram.

2. What is meant by the heating effect of current? Explain how does a bulb glow?

3. What is the role of fuse in any electrical circuit? Why is the fuse wire made of an alloy having low
melting point?

4. What is meant by the magnetic effect of current? Name three appliances based on this effect.

5. What will you prefer-soft iron or steel, to make an electromagnet? Give reason.

IV. HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS

1. Why cannot copper wire be used as a fuse wire?

2. A copper wire coil is suspended freely. When no current is passed through it, it comes to rest in
any direction. Which direction will it point if current is passed through it?

3. You might have seen birds sitting on an overhead electric cable comfortably. Once a while, a
monkey (or any other small animal) swings between the two parallel wires, gets electrocuted and
dies. Give explanation.
