1. What is a magnet? Answer: An object that can attract the objects made of iron, nickel and cobalt is called magnet. 2. What is the difference between a permanent magnet and temporary magnet? Answer: Permanent magnet Temporary magnet The magnet’s which don’t lose Magnets which lose their magnetic Their magnetic property easily. Property gradually, or when e.g: Load stone magnetic field is removed. 3. Write strokes method of making a magnet. Answer: Take a bar magnet and an iron nail. Stroke the bar magnet on iron nail many times in same direction. The iron nail will become temporary magnet. 4. Define magnetic field. Answer: The area around a magnet where it can attract magnetic materials is called magnetic field. 5. Write names of five things which are made of magnetic material. Answer: Iron, Cobalt, Nickle, Steel, Stainless steel.
2 Q 10.3 Give answers in detail. 1. Show with the help of an activity that a freely suspended bar magnet always points north to south direction. Activity 10.1 page No. 119 2. How can you prove that like poles repel each other while unlike poles attract each other? We can proof it by performing a simple activity 1. Take two bar magnets. Place them on table in such a way that similar poles (N-N) or (S-S) face each other. They will repel each other. Now place them in such a way that opposite poles (N-S) face each other. They will attract each other. 3. Describe a few uses of magnets. There are many uses of magnets in our daily life. Some of which are: 1. Electric bell that we use in our homes works with magnet. 2. Magnets play role in producing sound in speakers. 3. A dynamo produce electricity with help of a magnet. 4. We can separate a magnetic material from non-magnetic material by using a magnetic. 5. Crane lifting heavy iron objects use big magnets to do so. 4. A, B, C are three similar bars. One is magnet, another Iron bar and third aluminium bar. How would you identify which one is which? First of all we will identify the magnet. Suspend all the three bars freely. The bar which points itself in north south direction will be a magnet. Now take the magnet to other two bars. The bar attracted towards magnet will be iron bar. The bar which do not attract toward magnet will be aluminium bar. 5. How can you draw the magnetic field of a bar magnet using iron filings. Write down the procedure? Activity 10.3 page No. 121. 6. Describe applications of electromagnets in daily life? Electromagnets are widely used in our daily life. Some applications of electromagnets are: 1. Electromagnets are used in generators. 2. Electric bells. 3. Headphones and loudspeakers. 4. Data storage devices like hard discs. 5. Magnetic locks. 6. MRI machines.
3 Q 10.4 Constructed response questions. 1. You have a bar magnet without any indication OF POLES. How will you identify its north and south poles? Suspend the bar magnet freely with the help of a thread tied to center of it. The end that points to the north direction will be regarded as north pole and other end is regarded as south pole of magnet. 2. What cause the Earth’s magnetic field? The earth’s magnetic field is generated by convection currents of molten iron and nickel in earth’s core. Because of spin of planet, iron is thought to make an electric current which in turu produce earth’s magnetic field. 3. How does metal core affect the strength of electromagnet? Metal core strengthen the magnetic field produced by magnet thus increase the strength of an electromagnet. 4. How are electricity and magnetism related? Electricity and magnetism are strongly related to each other. When electric current flows through an object it became a magnet strength of magnetic field increase with increase in amount of electric current. Q 10.5 Investigate. 1. The metals which can be magnetized? Iron, Cobalt and Nickel are the elemental metals that are naturally magnetic. Compounds and alloys containing these metals can also be magnetized. 2. Do other planets have magnetic field like earth? Planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all have magnetic fields much stronger than earth.
