MCQ Science Curiosity Chapter 4 Class 8 CBSE Board Advertisement Electricity: Magnetic and Heating Effects 1. Why might the LED not glow in the lemon cell activity?The lemon is too dryThe LED is connected incorrectlyThe copper wire is too shortThe iron nail is not magneticQuestion 1 of 202. What is the electrolyte in a dry cell?A liquid acidA thick moist pasteA solid metalA gasQuestion 2 of 203. What is the negative terminal in a dry cell made of?Carbon rodZinc containerCopper stripMetal capQuestion 3 of 204. What is the positive terminal in a dry cell?Zinc containerCarbon rod with a metal capElectrolyte pastePlastic casingQuestion 4 of 205. What is a key advantage of rechargeable batteries?They are cheaper to manufactureThey can be recharged and reused multiple timesThey produce a stronger magnetic fieldThey are lighter than dry cellsQuestion 5 of 206. What type of battery is commonly used in modern devices?Lead-acid batteryLithium-ion batteryZinc-carbon batteryNickel-cadmium batteryQuestion 6 of 207. What is a potential benefit of solid-state batteries?They are heavier than lithium-ion batteriesThey charge faster and are saferThey use liquid electrolytesThey are less environmentally friendlyQuestion 7 of 208. Why is nichrome wire commonly used in electrical heating devices?It is an insulatorIt generates more heat for a given currentIt is magneticIt is a superconductorQuestion 8 of 209. Why are electric heating devices considered more convenient than burning firewood?They produce a stronger magnetic fieldThey are cleaner and easier to controlThey are less efficientThey require more maintenanceQuestion 9 of 2010. What happens to the compass needle if the battery terminals are reversed in Activity 4.4?It stops movingIt deflects in the opposite directionIt remains in the same directionIt rotates continuouslyQuestion 10 of 2011. Why might Sumana’s lifting electromagnet stop lifting paper clips after some time?The battery is deadThe wire becomes too coldThe iron nail becomes permanently magnetizedThe switch is turned OFFQuestion 11 of 2012. In which case will the LED glow in Fig.4.11?When using pure water as the electrolyteWhen using lemon juice as the electrolyteWhen no electrolyte is usedWhen using sugar syrup as the electrolyteQuestion 12 of 2013. Will the coil in Activity 4.4 still deflect the compass if the iron nail is removed?No, it will not deflect the compassYes, but the deflection will be lessYes, and the deflection will be moreYes, with no change in deflectionQuestion 13 of 2014. Which coil material will cause compass needle deflection when current flows?Only ironOnly iron and copperOnly iron, copper, and aluminiumIron, copper, aluminium, and nichromeQuestion 14 of 2015. What is the effect of increasing the number of coil turns in Activity 4.3?Decreases the electromagnet’s strengthIncreases the electromagnet’s strengthHas no effect on the electromagnet’s strengthStops the current flowQuestion 15 of 2016. Which nichrome wire heats up more in the activity with wires of different thicknesses?The thicker wireThe thinner wireBoth heat up equallyNeither heats upQuestion 16 of 2017. Which nichrome wire heats up more in the activity with wires of different lengths?The shorter wireThe longer wireBoth heat up equallyNeither heats upQuestion 17 of 2018. What is a benefit of recycling batteries?Increases their magnetic propertiesPrevents environmental harm and reuses valuable materialsMakes them rechargeableReduces their weightQuestion 18 of 2019. What is the role of the electrolyte in a Voltaic cell?It generates heatIt conducts electricity and facilitates chemical reactionsIt acts as an insulatorIt produces a magnetic fieldQuestion 19 of 2020.
