MCQ Science Curiosity Chapter 4 Class 8 CBSE Board Advertisement Electricity: Magnetic and Heating Effects 1. If the north pole of a compass is attracted to end A of an electromagnet, what is end A?North poleSouth poleNeutral polePositive terminalQuestion 1 of 202. What happens to the magnetic field strength when more cells are used in an electromagnet circuit?It decreasesIt remains the sameIt increasesIt becomes zeroQuestion 2 of 203. How does increasing the number of turns in a coil affect an electromagnet?It weakens the magnetic fieldIt strengthens the magnetic fieldIt has no effect on the magnetic fieldIt stops the current flowQuestion 3 of 204. What happens to the poles of an electromagnet when the current direction is reversed?The poles remain the sameThe poles are reversedThe electromagnet loses its polesThe poles become neutralQuestion 4 of 205. Why does the Earth behave like a giant magnet?Due to the presence of solid iron in its coreDue to electric currents from liquid iron in its coreDue to solar radiationDue to gravitational forcesQuestion 5 of 206. What is a practical application of lifting electromagnets?Cooling household appliancesMoving heavy metal items in factoriesGenerating electricity in power plantsCharging rechargeable batteriesQuestion 6 of 207. Why does a nichrome wire become warm when current flows through it?Due to magnetic field productionDue to resistance converting electrical energy to heatDue to chemical reactions in the wireDue to friction in the circuitQuestion 7 of 208. What type of wire is used in Activity 4.5 to observe the heating effect?Copper wireNichrome wireAluminium wireIron wireQuestion 8 of 209. Why should the nichrome wire not be touched for an extended period in Activity 4.5?To avoid breaking the wireTo prevent injuries due to heatTo maintain the magnetic fieldTo avoid damaging the switchQuestion 9 of 2010. What happens to the heat generated in a nichrome wire when using two cells instead of one?Less heat is generatedThe same amount of heat is generatedMore heat is generatedNo heat is generatedQuestion 10 of 2011. What factor does NOT affect the heat generated in a wire?Material of the wireThickness of the wireColor of the wireDuration of current flowQuestion 11 of 2012. Which household appliance works on the heating effect of electric current?Electric bellElectric kettleLoudspeakerElectric motorQuestion 12 of 2013. Why can overheating in household circuits be problematic?It increases the magnetic fieldIt may cause damage to plugs and sockets or lead to firesIt improves appliance efficiencyIt recharges batteriesQuestion 13 of 2014. What is an industrial application of the heating effect of electric current?Sorting metal scrapsMelting and recycling scrap steelGenerating magnetic fieldsCharging electric vehiclesQuestion 14 of 2015.
