प्रश्न
Explain the mechanism of attraction of iron nails by a magnet when brought near them.
उत्तर
When iron nails are brought near one end of a magnet, the nearer end of piece acquires an opposite polarity by magnetic induction. Since unlike poles attract each other, therefore, iron nails are attracted towards the end of the magnet. Thus, the iron nail first becomes a magnet by induction and then it is attracted.

Magnetic field lines always repel each other and do not intersect.
A closely wounded circular coil of radius 5 cm produces a magnetic field of 37.68 × 10-4 T at its center. The current through the coil is ______ A. [Given, number of turns in the coil is 100 and π = 3.14)
Assertion (A): Magnetic field lines never intersect each other.
Reason (R): If they intersect, then at the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards two directions, which is not possible.
