OBJECTIVE TYPE QUESTIONS

1. Choose the incorrect statements from the following regarding magnetic lines of field.
(a) the direction of magnetic field at a point is taken to be the direction in which the north pole of
a magnetic compass needle points
(b) magnetic field lines are closed curves
(c) if magnetic field lines are parallel and equidistant, they represent zero field strength
(d) relative strength of magnetic field is shown by the degree of closeness of the field lines.
2. If the key in the arrangement figure given below is taken out (the circuit is made open) and magnetic.
field lines are drawn over the horizontal plane ABCD, the lines are

(a) Concentric circles


(b) elliptical in shape
(c) straight lines parallel to each other (Due to earth’s magnetic field)
(d) concentric circles near the point O but of elliptical shapes as we go away from it.
3. For a current in a long straight solenoid, N- and S-poles are created at the two ends. Among the
following statements, the incorrect statement is
(a) the field lines inside the solenoid are in the form of straight lines which indicates that the magnetic
field is the same at all points inside the solenoid
(b) the strong magnetic field produced inside the solenoid can be used to magnetise a piece of magnetic
material like soft iron, when placed inside the coil
(c) the pattern of the magnetic field associated with the solenoid is different from the pattern of the
magnetic field around a bar magnet
(d) the N- and S-poles exchange position when the direction of current through the solenoid is reversed.

(a) more at the ends than at the centre
(b) minimum in the middle
(c) same at all points
(d) found to increase from one end to the other
5. Magnetic field lines around a straight conductor forms a pattern of
(a) concentric circles
(b) concentric ellipse

ASSERTION REASON QUESTIONS
In the following Questions, the Assertion and Reason have been put forward. Read the statements
carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
(a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
(d) The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
8. Assertion: Electro magnet is a temporary magnet.
Reason: A current carrying solenoid acts as a magnet.
9. Assertion: When electric current is passed through a copper wire, magnetic needle kept near to wire
shows deflection.
Reason: the electric current through copper wire has produced magnetic field.
10. Assertion (A): On changing the direction of flow of current through a straight conductor, the direction
of a magnetic field around the conductor is reversed.
Reason (R) : The direction of magnetic field around a conductor can be given in accordance with left
hand thumb rule.
