Solution :CIRCUIT in the figure 'a' PRODUCES stronger electromagnet than in the figure 'b'. SINCE in both the circuit the number of TURNS of wire WOUND around magnetic material is of the same, but more cells are included in the circuit 'a'.
179.

Which of the following arrangements produces a stronger electromagnet and why ?

Answer»

Solution :Circuti in the figure (b) produces a strong electromagnet because the number of TURNS of wire WOUND around the MAGNETIC material is more than that in the CIRCUIT of figure (a) and the STRENGTH of magnet depends directly on the number of turns. Therefore, the magnetic material in circuit 'b' will become a stronger magnet when compared with 'a'.

Akash can move an iron block at rest ,placed on a metal sheet by pushing it with a force of 50 N. Whena lubricant is applied on the effort is reduced to do the same activity .The force with which the block can be moved in the second case is "________".

Answer»

25 N
37.5N
12.5 N
50 N
