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


Correct Option: A
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.

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


Correct Option: C
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.

Electric door bell employs

  1. Permanent Magnet

  2. Electromagnet

  3. Thermistor

  4. Electric bulb


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Striker is moved under influence of electromagnet when circuit is complete.

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


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

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

Which of the following is not a component of electric bell?

  1. Gong

  2. Ferromagnetic strip

  3. Low magnetic field permanent magnet to attract ferromagnetic strip

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Electric bell works on the mechanism of electromagnets i.e, temporary magnets, and no permanent magnet is used.

Temporary magnet allows the ferromagnetic strip to return back to its initial state as switch is released.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a buzzer?

  1. It has different mechanism from electric bell.

  2. It has higher frequency of collision of gong and hammer

  3. It uses only AC power supply

  4. None of the above

In a buzzer, the simplest sort of doorbell, an electromagnet is used to operate a self-interrupting circuit. You can see how this system works in the diagram below. Click and hold the doorbell button to see how the buzzer works. ... This breaks the doorbell circuit, which shuts off the electromagnet.characteristic of a buzzer It has higher frequency of collision of gong and hammer

Which power supply can be used in electric bell

  1. $AC$

  2. $DC$

  3. Can't be predicted 

  4. Both A and B

Explanation:

Electric bell works on the mechanism of electromagnets and for this any type of power either AC or DC can be used.

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. Circuit is closed in the electric bell


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
When the switch of an electric bell is pushed, current start to flow through the electromagnet.
When switch is pushed , circuit is closed and current starts flowing through the electromagnet in bell & bell starts ringing.
OPTION : B.

When the switch of an electric bell is on then electric current in it :

  1. Flows and stops in succession

  2. Flows continuously

  3. First flows in one direction and after sometime in other direction

  4. Flows in beginning and then stops forever


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The bell works on the principle of electromagnetism which says that when an electric current flows through the coil, the rods become magnetic and attract a piece of iron attached to a clapper. And the clapper hits the cap and comes back as the current stops, and hence the bell rings. So the current flows and stops in succession. And in this way the bell rings.

Why doorbell rings repeatedly when switch is pressed 

  1. Because of nature of current

  2. Because electrical switch is built in such a manner

  3. Because of make and break arrangement

  4. Because of slight humidity in the circuit


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Make and break arrangement causes striker to repeatedly hit the metal gong as long as switch is pressed. When Circuit is complete, electromagnet attracts the striker which hits metal gong. As soon as the striker moves, circuit breaks and electromagnet is inactive. Because of flexibility of striker, it moves back to its original position. As soon as it reaches original position, circuit is complete. This process repeats continuously. 

What will happen if the strip in a doorbell loses its flexibility?

  1. Striker may break if current is large.

  2. After hitting the metal gong, it never returns to original position and only a single sound is produced.

  3. System of doorbell breaks

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Because of lack of flexibility, striker will resist change of motion more and may break if current is large.

Without flexibility, no rebounding force is present and striker will not return to its original position.

What is the use of flexibility strip in a doorbell?

  1. It brings back striker to its original position

  2. It supports the motion of the striker

  3. It completes the electric circuit flexibly

  4. Its a safety precaution


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Without the flexibility strip, the striker will not come back to original position when the electrical circuit breaks.

Electric doorbell

  1. Always consume power

  2. Consume power only when switch is pressed

  3. Do not consume power practically and needs only starting power

  4. cant say


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When switch is pressed, circuit completes and ringing begins. Hence, electrical energy is converted to sound energy. As switch is released, no current flows and no energy is consumed,

Exposed Electric doorbell can be damaged by 

  1. Mechanical damage

  2. High Electric currents

  3. Humidity

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Mechanical Damage to metal gong or striker may hinder working of the bell.

High electric currents may cause heating and burning of electrical circuit.
Humidity may cause short circuit between two unconnected wires, causing high electric currents and damage.

During a doorbell ringing

  1. Current always flows in the circuit

  2. Electromagnet is always present

  3. Striker is always in contact with metal gong

  4. Striker always repeatedly hits metal gong


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Striker repeatedly hits the metal gong when doorbell is ringing. 

This can be observed in regular bells used at homes.

Armature is pulled towards the spring when it strikes the gong because

  1. The electromagnet gets demagnetized

  2. The current flow breaks

  3. Spring effect

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The working of an electric magnet is based on the magnetic effect of current. When the key is pressed the circuit gets completed and current passes through it causing the electromagnet to get magnetized which in turn attracts the armature. This movement of the armature causes the hammer to strike the gong. However when the armature moves towards the gong the connection between the spring strip and adjusting screw is lost which breaks the circuit and the current flow is stopped thus demagnetizing the electromagnet. This causes the armature to return to its original position and it is thus pulled back due to the spring effect of the spring strip. This process is called a make and break circuit.

Which process is applied on a circuit for the working of an electric bell?

  1. Magnetization

  2. Make and break

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The working of an electric magnet is based on the magnetic effect of current. When the key is pressed the circuit gets completed and current passes through it causing the electromagnet to get magnetized which in turn attracts the armature. This movement of the armature causes the hammer to strike the gong. However when the armature moves towards the gong the connection between the spring strip and adjusting screw is lost which breaks the circuit and the current flow is stopped thus demagnetizing the electromagnet. This causes the armature to return to its original position and it is thus pulled back due to the spring effect of the spring strip. This process is called a make and break circuit.

The hammer hits the gong because

  1. It has electric charge

  2. It displays the spring effect

  3. It is attracted towards the electro-magnet

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The working of an electric magnet is based on the magnetic effect of current. When the key is pressed the circuit gets completed and current passes through it causing the electromagnet to get magnetized which in turn attracts the armature. This movement of the armature causes the hammer to strike the gong.

The strength and direction of the magnetic field depends on ..........

  1. Magnitude of electric current

  2. Direction of electric current

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In his experiment Oersted observed that the deflection of the needle compass changed according to the direction of the current and also as the current in the wire increased, the deflection of the needle increased. Thus he inferred that the strength and direction of the magnetic field depends on the magnitude and direction of current.

Which of the following effects of current does not depend on the direction of current?

  1. Lighting and chemical effects

  2. Heating and lighting effects

  3. Heating and magnetic effects

  4. Magnetic and chemical effects


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Heating effect and lighting effect does not depend on the direction of current.

What inferences were drawn from Oersteds experiment?

  1. A current or a moving charge produces magnetic field around it

  2. Presence of magnetic field can be detected using a compass needle

  3. The strength and direction of the magnetic field depends on the magnitude and direction of the current

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Oersted conducted an experiment to study the magnetic effect of electric current. In this experiment he observed the deflections of a compass needle placed in close proximity of an electric wire carrying current. He observed that in the absence of current the needle came to rest in Earths North-south direction under the influence of Earths magnetic field. However, when the needle was kept in close proximity of an electric wire carrying current it showed deflections in the east and west direction depending on the direction of current. Thus, indicating that the strength and direction of the magnetic field depends on the magnitude and direction of the current.

The magnitude of current is ........ the magnitude of magnetic field

  1. Inversely proportional to

  2. Directly proportional to

  3. Same as

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In his experiment Oersted observed that as the current in the wire increased, the deflection of the needle also increased, indicating that they are directly proportional.

Which of the following observations are true for Hans Oersteds experiment?
a. When current passes through the wire the compass needle comes to rest in a direction along the Earths magnetic field.
b. When placed just above the wire, North Pole of the compass needle deflects towards the east when current is passes from A to B.
c. When placed just below the wire, North Pole of the compass needle deflects towards the east when current is passes from B to A i.e. on reversing the direction of current

  1. a and c

  2. a and b

  3. b and c

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Oersted conducted an experiment to study the magnetic effect of electric current. In this experiment he observed the deflections of a compass needle placed in close proximity of an electric wire carrying current. He observed that in the absence of current the needle came to rest in Earths North-south direction under the influence of Earths magnetic field. However, when the needle was kept below the wire and current was passed from A to B the north pole of the needle deflected towards the west and on reversing the direction of the current from B to A, it deflected towards the east. Similarly, when the needle was kept above the wire and current was passed from A to B the north pole of the needle deflected towards the east and on reversing the direction of the current from B to A, it deflected towards the west. This indicates that the direction of the magnetic field depends on the direction of current.

When current passes through the circuit a compass needle rests in which direction (with respect to the Earth)?

  1. South-north

  2. North-south

  3. East-west

  4. West-east


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The earth acts like a huge magnet. Thus in the absence of electric current a compass needle always comes to rest in Earths North-south direction. However, when current passes through the circuit the needle comes to rests in the direction opposite to the magnetic field of Earth i.e. South-North direction.

State whether True or False :

If electric current is passed through metal body then it behaves as magnet.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If electric current is passed through metal body then it behaves as magnet. passing an electric current through iron does not produce a magnet. But if you pass a direct current through a coil wound around the piece of iron, you will magnetize it. Passing a direct electric current through the same coil with no iron inside the coil will still produce a magnetic field that behaves just like a magnet. Similarly, passing a direct current through a coil around a piece of Bismuth will create the same magnetic field which behaves just like a magnet.

Which of the following is/are correct?

  1. Electric current can produce a magnetism

  2. Due to change in current the magnetic strength changes

  3. Magnetic strength of a magnet is independent of the number of turn in the current carrying coil

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

I)According to Oersted experiment electric current can produce magnetism.

iI)Magnetic induction $B \alpha I$
If current changes the strength $B$ changes.
iiI)For circular coil magnetic field $B$ due to single ring $B=\dfrac{\mu _0 i}{2r}$
If magnet contain n turn then its strength is $B _2=nB$
But if current carrying coil have $n _2$ turn then strength doesn't change.
$B _2=nB$
Hence all options are correct.

Electromagnet can be formed due to which of the following?

  1. Heating effect of current

  2. Magnetic effect of current

  3. Chemical effect of current

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Electromagnets are formed by passing an electric current through a wire coiled around the substance with iron core. The electric current generates a magnetic field around the  substance and thus magnetize it which convert it into a magnet. Thus electromagnet can be formed due to the magnetic effect of current.

If we change in the direction of the current passing through the wire near to the magnetic needle:

  1. position of the pole of the needle will change

  2. position of the pole of the needle will remain same

  3. change in position of the pole depends on the current intensity

  4. none of the above is correct


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When the direction of the current flowing through the wire is reversed, direction of the magnetic field, so produced, also changes its direction which results in changing the position of pole of needle kept near the wire.

A magnetic needle vibrates in a vertical plane parallel to the magnetic meridian about horizontal axis passing through its centre. The frequency is $\pi$. If the plane of oscillation turned about a vertical axis by ${90}^{o}$, the frequency of oscillation in vertical plane will be:

  2. zero

  3. less than $\pi$

  4. more than $\pi$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Frequency $\pi=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{BM}I}$

On turning through angle $90°$, effective field is $V$ and $B>V$
$\implies $ new frequqncy $<\pi$ (less than $\pi)$

What did Oersted conclude from the experiment ?

  1. The current carrying wire must be acting as a magnet for the compass needle to deflect.

  2. The current carrying wire gets heated up and causes the compass needle to deflect.

  3. The current carrying wire sets up air currents that makes the compass needle to deflect.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The deflection of the compass needle, whenever there is current in the wire show that a current carrying wire produces a magnetic field around it, which is essentially saying the current carrying wire must be acting as a magnet.
