B Correct answer
Explanation
The magnetic effect of an electric current was discovered by Hans Christian Oersted in 1820. He demonstrated the effect by plotting compass close to a long straight wire which is carrying current and noting it's deflection. And the by reversing the direction of the current, the compass needle was deflected in the opposite sense.

One metal wire is kept in east-west direction.  $I$  is the current flow due west. Then, due to magnetic field  $\vec { { B } }$  of the earth on the wire is in the........ Direction.

  1. downward

  2. Upward

  3. north

  4. south

C Correct answer
Explanation
according to left hand rule. if current is in west direction then magnetic field will be north direction, if force is in north west direction
Multiple choice physics current electricity and magnetism electric bell the magnetic effect of a current electromagnetic forces oersted experiment oersted's experiment magnetic field due to a straight current carrying conductor

What material is used for making the armature of an electric bell ? Give a reason for using this material.

  1. Soft Iron

  2. Carbon

  3. Glass

  4. Silicon
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Soft iron is used for making the armature of an electric bell because soft iron is magnetised easily on passing the current and completely demagnetised easily on withdrawing the current through the solenoid.

Multiple choice physics current electricity and magnetism electric bell the magnetic effect of a current electromagnetic forces oersted experiment oersted's experiment magnetic field due to a straight current carrying conductor

Working of electric bells is an example of

  1. Mechanical effect of electric current

  2. Heating effect of electric current

  3. Magnetic effect of electric current

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

An electric bell contains an electromagnet, consisting of coils of insulated wire wound round iron rods. When an electric current flows through the coils, the rods become magnetic and attract a piece of iron attached to a clapper. The clapper hits the bell and makes it ring.

Multiple choice physics current electricity and magnetism electric bell the magnetic effect of a current electromagnetic forces oersted experiment oersted's experiment magnetic field due to a straight current carrying conductor

When the switch of an electric bell is pushed.

  1. Flow of the current stops through the electromagnet in the bell

  2. Current starts to flow through the electromagnet

  3. Voltage decreases in the current flowing through the electromagnet

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When the switch of electric bell is pushed,circuit completes and current flows leading an electromagnet to attract armature and ring the bell.
