MAGNETIC EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT - Mod2 - WS - 1
(b) Effectively large number of turns of conducting wire in the current carrying coil
2. A uniform magnetic field exists in the plane of paper pointing from left to right as shown in
Figure. In the field an electron and a proton move as shown. The electron and the proton
experience
(c) Forces pointing into the plane of paper and out of the plane of paper, respectively
(d) Force pointing opposite and along the direction of the uniform magnetic field respectively
3. In the arrangement shown in Figure there are two coils wound on a non-conducting
cylindrical rod. Initially the key is not inserted. Then the key is inserted and later removed. Then
(a) The deflection in the galvanometer remains zero throughout
(b) There is a momentary deflection in the galvanometer but it dies out shortly and there is no
effect when the key is removed.
(c) There are momentary galvanometer deflections that die out shortly; the deflections are in
the same direction
(d) There are momentary galvanometer deflections that die out shortly; the deflections are in
opposite directions.
4. Name four appliances wherein an electric motor, a rotating device that converts electrical
energy to mechanical energy, is used as an important component. In what respect motors are
different from generators?
5. What is the role of the two conducting stationary brushes in a simple electric motor?
6. Describe the activity that shows that a current-carrying conductor experiences a force
perpendicular to its length and the external magnetic field. How does Fleming’s left-hand rule
help us to find the direction of the force acting on the current carrying conductor?
7. Draw a labeled circuit diagram of a simple electric motor and explain its working. In what
way these simple electric motors are different from commercial motors?
