The following question based on electric current and magnetism topic of general science mcq

Questions : 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

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (c)

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

Hence reading will be zero.

Answer: (c)

Question : 4

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 : 5

At absolute zero, Si acts as

a) metal

b) insulator

c) non-metal

d) None of these

Answer: (b)

Semiconductors are insulators at room temperature.

Question : 6

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.
