CBSE Class 10 Chapter 12 Magnetic Effects of Electric Current MCQs

Check below the CBSE Class 10 Science MCQ with answers and Clear your idea of chapter 12 Magnetic Effects of Electric Current.

Q.1. An electric current can be produced in a closed loop


(a) by connecting it to a battery, but not by moving a magnet near it.
(b) by moving a magnet near the loop, but not by connecting a battery.
(c) by connecting it to a battery, as well as by moving a magnet near it.
(d) neither by connecting a battery nor by moving a magnet near it.

Answer
(c): Electric current can be produced by connecting battery to the closed loop. It can also be produced, when magnet is moved relative to the closed loop. A moving magnet induced current in a loop due to change of magnetic flux.

Q.4. What is not true about poles of a magnet?

(a) Poles exist always in pairs.
(b) Poles of a magnet are always unlike.
(c) Poles of a magnet are of equal strength.
(d) Poles are situated a little outwards from the geometrical ends of magnet.

Answer
(d): Magnetic pole always exist in pairs. A magnet has two unlike poles (North pole and South pole) of equal strength. The magnetic length of the magnet is always less than the geometric length of the magnet

Q.5. The electric geysers are used on the circuit with

(a) 15 A current rating
(b) 5 A current rating
(c) 10 A current rating
(d) none of these

Answer
(a): A fuse of 15 A current capacity is used for a line which operates an electric geyser.

Q.6. If the coil is kept stationary with respect to the magnet, the galvanometer

(a) deflect towards right.
(b) deflect towards left.
(c) deflect first towards right then towards left.
(d) does not deflect.

Answer
(d): When coil is kept stationary with respect to the magnet then magnetic field linked with coil does not change and galvanometer shows no deflection.

Q.7. The shape of the field lines of a magnetic field around a straight conducting wire is

(a) square (b) circular
(c) elliptical (d) pyramidal

Answer
(b): The magnetic field around a straight conducting wire are concentric circular field lines with the conductor at the centre.

Q.8. Which of the following does not belong to the group formed by the others?

(a) Generator (b) Dynamo
(c) Motor (d) Transformer

Answer
(c): Motor.
Generator, dynamo and transformer work on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

(a) circular
(b) circular, but they do not cross each other
(c) along the axis and parallel to each other
(d) all of these

Answer
(c): The magnetic field lines inside a current carrying solenoid are along the axis and parallel to each other.

Q.10. The moving part of an electric motor is called

(a) armature (b) split ring
(c) slip-ring (d) shaft

Summary for NCERT class 10 science chapter 12 – “Magnetic Effects of Electric Current”

  • A compass needle is a small magnet. Its one end, which points towards north, is called a north pole, and the other end, which points towards south, is called a south pole.
  • A magnetic field exists in the region surrounding a magnet, in which the force of the magnet can be detected.
  • Field lines are used to represent a magnetic field. A field line is the path along which a hypothetical free north pole would tend to move. The direction of the magnetic field at a point is given by the direction that a north pole placed at that point would take. Field lines are shown closer together where the magnetic field is greater.
  • A metallic wire carrying an electric current has associated with it a magnetic field. The field lines about the wire consist of a series of concentric circles whose direction is given by the right-hand rule.
  • The pattern of the magnetic field around a conductor due to an electric current flowing through it depends on the shape of the conductor. The magnetic field of a solenoid carrying a current is similar to that of a bar magnet.
  • An electromagnet consists of a core of soft iron wrapped around with a coil of insulated copper wire.
  • A current-carrying conductor when placed in a magnetic field experiences a force. If the direction of the field and that of the current are mutually perpendicular to each other, then the force acting on the conductor will be perpendicular to both and will be given by Fleming’s left-hand rule.
  • In our houses we receive AC electric power of 220 V with a frequency of 50 Hz. One of the wires in this supply is with red insulation, called live wire. The other one is of black insulation, which is a neutral wire. The potential difference between the two is 220 V. The third is the earth wire that has green insulation and this is connected to a metallic body deep inside earth. It is used as a safety measure to ensure that any leakage of current to a metallic body does not give any severe shock to a user
  • Fuse is the most important safety device, used for protecting the circuits due to short-circuiting or overloading of the circuits.
