Properties:
a. No two field lines are found to cross each other.
b. Outside the magnet magnetic field lines travel from N-pole to S-pole and inside the magnet from S-pole to N-pole.

Question. Explain what is short-circuiting and overloading in an electric supply.
Answer : When live wire and neutral wire come in contact with each other short circuit takes place. This may be due to fault in electric circuit or when insulation of wire is damaged. During the short circuiting current increases abruptly due to decrease in resistance in the circuit. This short circuiting leads the spark and house may catch fire.
Over loading means to draw the current by all electric appliances in the circuit more than maximum permitted value of the current, overloading also leads the heating of wires which may damage the insulation of wires.

Question. (a) A compass needle gets deflected when brought near a current carrying conductor. Why?
(b) What happened to the reflection of needle when current in the conductor is increased?

Question. With the help of a neat diagram, describe how you can generate induced current in a circuit.
Answer : Take a coil of large number of turns and connect the two ends of the coil with a galvanometer. Galvanometer is a device used to detect the presence of current. 
Now bring N pole of a strong magnet towards the coil. There is a momentary deflection in the galvanometer. Now bring the N pole away from the coil, again there is a deflection in the opposite direction in the galvanometer deflection in the galvanometer shows that a current is induced in the coil. The induced current can be produced by keeping magnet stationary and giving movement to the coil, or when both have a relative motion w.r.t. each other.
CBSE Class 10 Science Magnetic Effects Of Current Worksheet Set B_5

Question. Why is series arrangement not used for domestic circuits?
Answer : In domestic circuits, all appliances are connected in parallel not in series because

c. If one appliance is switched off others also will stop working i.e. all appliance will work together whether we require it or not.
d. In series combination total potential difference is divided among all appliances in proportion to their resistance. So all appliance will not get required voltage to operate efficiently.

Question. Explain briefly different methods of producing induced emf.
Answer : a. By mutual induction: If we change current in one coil, a current is induced in the neighbouring coil.
b. By giving a relative motion to a magnet and coil in its neighbourhood.

Question. What is the role of fuse, used in series with any electrical appliance? Why should a fuse with defined rating not be replaced by one with a larger rating?
Answer : Fuse wire is safety device to prevent electrical devices due to short circuiting or overloading. The fuse wire is rated for a maximum current which has high resistance and low melting point. When there is short circuiting large current is passed in the circuit. Due to large current in fuse wire heat is produced and by melting fuse wire breaks the circuit to keep other appliances safe.
If a fuse wire is replaced by an ordinary copper wire which has low resistance and high melting point it will not melt and domestic appliance may get damaged due to excessive heat due to short circuiting or overloading.

Question. (a) In a pattern of magnetic field fines due to a bar magnet, how can the regions of relative strength be identified?
(b) Compare the strength of field near the poles and middle of a bar magnet.
Answer : (a) More the density of the magnetic field lines i.e. more closer the magnetic field lines more the strength of magnetic field.
(b) Near the poles magnetic field lines are closer than the middle of a bar magnet. So magnetic strength is more near poles than middle part of bar magnet.

Question. Define electromagnetic induction? Two circular coils A and B are placed close to each other. If the current in the coil A is changed, will some current be induced in the coil B? Explain. 
Answer :  Electromagnetic induction means the production of induced current in a closed coil due to the change in the magnetic field.
 
V-15
When current flows in coil-1, magnetic flux sets up around coil A due to which some magnetic field sets up around coil-2 and when current in coil-1changes, magnetic field around coil-2 also changes thus some induced current flow through coil B due to which galvanometer deflects.
 
Question. Explain the underlying principle of working of an electric generator by drawing a labelled diagram. What is the function of brushes.
Answer : Principle: Alternators are based on the principle that an induced current is produced in a conductor whenever there is change in magnetic lines of force linked with it. The direction on induced current is given by Fleming's right hand rule stated below.
Fleming's right hand rule. If the thumb, forefinger and central finger of right hand are stretched out mutually at right angles to each other such that forefinger points along the direction of magnetic field and thumb along the direction of motion of the conductor, then the central finger indicates the direction of the current produced in the coil.
Construction: A simple A.C. generator consists of the following important parts :
Working : Let the coil initially be in horizontal position as shown in fig. Let the coil be rotated in anticlockwise direction between the pole pieces N and S of a horseshoe magnet.
At an instant, let AB move down and CD move up as shown in the fig. The coil AB cut the magnetic lines of force near N-pole of the magnet, side CD cut the lines near S pole of the magnet. Due to the change in the magnetic field cutting the coil, an induced current is produced in AB and DC. Using Fleming's right hand rule to side AB and DC of the coil, we observe that the current flows in the direction B and A and D and C. Effective current flows along DCBA.
After half rotation, side AB and DC of the coil will interchange their positions. AB will come towards right and DC towards left. Now AB starts moving up and DC downwards.
The direction of induced current in each side is reversed after half a revolution. Due to the change in the direction of induced current in the coil is reversed after half revolution, hence positive or negative polarity of the two ends is also changed.
In India, we produce 50 Hz A.C. Hence coil is to be rotated 50 times per second. In a single rotation, the current changes its direction twice i.e. each termed is positive for only  1/2 x 50 = 1/100 = 0.01s and negative for 0.01s. Since the current alternates its direction every 0.01 s. the current produced is called alternating current or A.C.
V-10
i. Armature: It consists of coil ABCD having a large number of insulated copper wires wound over a soft iron core. The coil is called armature. The armature is mounted on an axle which can be rotated by force exerted by falling water, wind or stream.
V-9
ii. Field magnets : The coil is held between the pole pieces of a strong magnet called the field magnet. In small dynamos, the magnetic field is provided by permanent magnet.
in large dynamos, the magnetic field is provided by electromagnets.
iii. Split Rings : These consist of two hollow metallic ring R1 and R2 mounted on the axle of the coil. The ends of the limbs AB and CD of the coil are connected to the rings R1 and R2 respectively. These rings rotate along with the rotation of The armature.
iv. Current from B1, B2 is taken out to load connected across two brushes.
