1. When a magnet is dipped in heap of iron nails, maximum clinging occurs at the poles.
Why?
Ans. When a magnet is dipped in a heap of iron nails, then maximum clinging occurs at the poles
because, magnetism is maximum at the poles.
2. An iron needle is attracted to the ends of a bar magnet but not to the middle region of
magnet. Is the material making up the ends of a bar magnet different from the middle

R
region.
Ans. No, the material making up the ends of a bar magnet is not different from the middle region. An
iron needle is attracted to the ends of a bar magnet but not to the middle region of magnet
because the strength of magnetic field of a magnet is maximum at poles as compared to middle

e
region of a magnet

Explain the statement “current carrying solenoid behaves as bar magnet”.
When a current carrying solenoid is suspended freely it stays along N – S direction, similarly when
the current carrying solenoids are brought closer, they either attract or repel. It shows that a current
carrying solenoid behaves like a bar magnet and posses North and South poles.

4. What is the effect of soft iron core on solenoid?
Ans. As the soft iron core is a highly ferromagnetic material, it allows the magnetic field lines to
pass through it.
When such a material is used as a core of solenoid, the magnetic field lines passing through it
at

increases, thereby, the strength of magnetic field of a solenoid increases.

5. A positively charged particle projected towards east is deflected towards north by a
C

magnetic field. The field may be

(a) Towards west (b) Towards south (c) Upward (d) Downward.
Ans. (d) By applying Fleming’s left hand rule, we get magnetic field in downward direction.
6. A charged particle moves through a magnetic field perpendicular to its direction. Then
(a) Kinetic energy changes but the momentum is constant
(b) The momentum changes but the kinetic energy is constant
(c) Both momentum and kinetic energy of the particle are not constant
(d) Both momentum and kinetic energy of the particle are constant.
Ans. (b) A charged particle moves through a magnetic field perpendicular, to its direction.
Then it will perform uniform circles motion.
