Question : 1

Metals getting magnetised by orientation of atomic magnetic moments in external magnetic field are called

a) ferromagnetics

b) diamagnetics

c) paramagnetics

d) antimagnetics

Answer: (c)

In paramagnetic metals, magnetism is acquired by orientation of atomic dipoles.

Question : 2

Alternating current cannot be measured by D.C. ammeter because

a) A.C. changes direction

b) A.C. cannot pass through D.C. ammeter

c) average value of current for complete cycle is zero

d) D.C. ammeter will get damaged

Answer: (c)

D.C. ammeter measures average current in AC current, average current is zero for a complete cycle.

Hence reading will be zero.

Question : 3

The distance between two magnetic poles is doubled and their pole-strength is also doubled. The force between them

a) remains unchanged

b) increases to four times

c) decreases by half

d) increases to two times

Answer: (c)

Question : 4

The core of a transformer is laminated because

a) ratio of voltage in primary and secondary may be increased

b) the weight of the transformer may be reduced

c) rusting of the core may be prevented

d) energy losses due to eddy currents may be minimised

Answer: (d)

When there is a change of flux in the core of a transformer due to a change in current around it, eddy current is produced.

The direction of this current is opposite to the current which produces it, so it will reduce the main current.

We laminate the core so that flux is reduced resulting in the reduced production of eddy current.

Question : 5

Curie temperature is the temperature above which

a) a ferromagnetic material becomes diamagnetic

b) a ferromagnetic material becomes paramagenetic

c) a paramagnetic material becomes diamagnetic

d) a paramagnetic m aterial becomes ferromagnetic

Answer: (b)

Question : 6

How does the white light produce in the tube?

a) To accelerate the atoms

b) To heat up the copper wire

c) To heat up the filament

d) To oscillate molecule

Answer: (c)
