Question
An electric bell has an electromagnet.
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
An electric bell has a piece of iron wound by a coil. When current passes through this coil, it behaves as an electromagnet.

Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
The home electrical connection consists of ‘live’, ‘neutral’ and ‘earth’ wires. The ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires have potential difference of 220 V. The ‘earth’ is connected to ground. Due to a fault in the equipment or if the plastic coating on the ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires gives a way the two wires come in contact with each other and a large current flows through it producing heat. If any inflammable material (such as wood, cloth, plastic, etc.) exists around that place it can catch fire. Therefore a fuse wire is used as a precautionary measure.

- What is a short circuit?
- Write the function of a fuse.
