Question: 7. A student while studying the force experienced by a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field records the following observations:
(1). The force experienced by the conductor increases as the current is increased.
(2). The force experienced by the conductor decreases as the strength of the magnetic field is increased.
Which of the two observations is correct and why? [3]
Answer: Observation (1). is correct as the force experienced by the current carrying conductor is directly proportional to magnitude of the current passing through the conductor.

What is an electromagnet? How is it different from a permanent magnet? State two uses of electromagnet. (3 marks)
Question: Write commercial and SI units of energy. Calculate the cost of electric energy consumed by an electric heater rated with 50 W used for 2 hours daily in the month of April. The cost of one unit of electric energy is Rs. 5. [3]
Answer: Commercial unit of energy is kWh; SI unit of energy is Joule; P = 50 Watt ⇒ 50/1000 kW
t = 2 hrs., Number of days = 30 days
E = p × t × number of days. E = 50/1000 × 2 × 30 ⇒ 3 kWH (3 Unit)
Cost of 1 unit = Rs 5.00, ∴ Cost of electric energy consumed = Rs. 5 × 3 = Rs. 15
