Write 4 Properties of magnetic field lines? (4)
Q2 Write two difference between permanent magnet and Electromagnet. (2)

Q3 Compare the pattern of the field produced in case of a current carrying solenoid with
the magnetic field of a bar magnet. (3)

Q4 A current through a horizontal power line flows in east to west direction. What is the
direction of magnetic field at a point directly below it and at a point directly above it?
Name the rule you have applied in this case. (3)

Q5 State Fleming’s right hand rule. (2)

Q6 How will the magnetic field produced in a current carrying circular coil change if we
(i) Increase the value of current.
(ii) Increase the distance from the coil.
(iii) Increase the number of turns of the coil? (3)

Q7 State the rule to determine the direction of force experienced by a current carrying
conductor in a magnetic field. How will this force get affected on:
