Question
What is a natural magnet? State two limitations of a natural magnet.
Solution
The pieces of lodestone found in nature are called the natural magnets. Limitations of a natural magnet are as listed below:
(i) They are irregular and odd shaped.
(ii) They are not magnetically very strong.

You are given the magnetic field pattern of a magnet. How will you find out from it where the magnetic field is the strongest?
The wire in Figure below is being moved downwards through the magnetic field so as to produce induced current.
(a) moving the wire at a higher speed?
(b) moving the wire upwards rather than downwards?
(c) using a stronger magnet?
(d) holding the wire still in the magnetic field?
(e) moving the wire parallel to the magnetic field lines?
In following figure, draw at least two magnetic field lines between the two magnets.
(b) 
Figure. shows a bar magnet placed on the table top with its north pole pointing towards south. The arrow shows the north-south direction. There are no other magnets or magnetic materials nearby.
Insert two magnetic field lines on either side of the magnet using arrow head to show the direction of each field line.
In a uniform magnetic field, the field lines are:

Complete the following diagram of magnets to show the lines of force.
A wire 10 cm long carrying a current of 1.5 A is held in a uniform magneÑic field in which B = 10-3 T. Calculate the force on the wire if it is held perpendicular to the lines of the magnetic field.
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.
