How does the magnetic effect of electric current help in the working of an electric bell? Explain with the help of a diagram.

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

The doorbell or the electric bell makes use of the principle of an electromagnet. A horseshoe type of electromagnet is used in an electric bell which is connected to the source of current through a switch. It has a metallic gong, a hammer to strike the gong, and a screw attached to a soft iron strip.

When the button is pressed, the circuit is complete, and the hammer gets attracted to the gong thereby striking it to produce a ringing sound.

When the current is switched on through a wire, a compass needle kept nearby gets deflected from its north-south position. Explain.


Do you think an electromagnet can be used for separating plastic bags from a garbage heap? Explain.


Name one device which works on the magnetic effect of current.


Write the correct option by observing the figures.


In the Activity shown below, how do we think the displacement of rod AB will be affected if

  1. current in rod AB is increased
  2. a stronger horse-shoe magnet is used
  3. length of the rod AB is increased?
  • Take a small aluminium rod AB (of about 5 cm). Using two connecting wires suspend it horizontally from a stand, as shown in Fig.
  • Place a strong horse-shoe magnet in such a way that the rod lies between the two poles with the magnetic field directed upwards. For this put the north pole of the magnet vertically below and south pole vertically above the aluminium rod (Fig.).
  • Connect the aluminium rod in series with a battery, a key and a rheostat.
  • Now pass a current through the aluminium rod from end B to end A.
  • What do you observe? It is observed that the rod is displaced towards the left. You will notice that the rod gets displaced.
  • Reverse the direction of current flowing through the rod and observe the direction of its displacement. It is now towards the right.
  • Why does the rod get displaced?


A current-carrying rod, AB, experiences a force perpendicular to its length and the magnetic field. Support for the magnet is not shown here, for simplicity.


(b) State whether the following statements are true or false:

(i) Magnetic poles exist in pairs.

(ii) Global warming is a desirable aspect of the intensified greenhouse effect.


A soft iron bar is introduced inside the current-carrying solenoid. The magnetic field inside the solenoid ____________.


A uniform magnetic field exists in the plane of paper pointing from left to right as shown in Figure. In the field an electron and a proton move as shown. The electron and the proton experience


The figure given below shows the magnetic field around the conductor. Study it and answer the questions:

  1. What changes are caused by increasing current?
  2. What do you see when the magnetic needle is kept a little away from the wire?
  3. In the second part of the figure, the iron filings arrange themselves in a circular manner around the wire. Why does this happen?

As shown in the diagram an aluminium rod 'AB' is suspended horizontally between the two poles of a strong horse shoe magnet in such a way that the axis of rod is horizontal and the direction of the magnetic field is vertically upward. The rod is connected in series with a battery and a key.

State giving reason:

  1. What is observed when a current is passed through the aluminium rod from end B to end A?
  2. What change is observed in a situation in which the axis of the rod 'AB' is moved and aligned parallel to the magnetic field and current is passed in the rod in the same direction?
