  1. Question 1

    A D.C motor converts:

    • Amechanical energy into electrical energy
    • Bmechanical energy into chemical energy
    • Celectrical energy into mechanical energy
    • Delectrical energy into chemical energy
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    A D.C motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

  2. Question 2

    The two main layers of the Earth's core that contribute to the generation of the magnetic field are:

    • Acrust and mantle
    • Binner core and outer core
    • Clithosphere and asthenosphere
    • Dtroposphere and stratosphere
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The core has a solid inner core and a liquid outer core.

  3. Question 3

    A 0.5 m wire carries 2 A perpendicular to a 0.4 T magnetic field. The force on it is:

    • A0.4 N
    • B0.1 N
    • C1.6 N
    • D4 N
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    F = ILB = 2 x 0.5 x 0.4 = 0.4 N.

  4. Question 4

    A wire carrying current placed parallel to the magnetic field experiences a force of:

    • Amaximum value
    • Bzero
    • Cinfinite value
    • Dhalf of maximum
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    F = ILB sin(theta); for theta = 0, F = 0.

  5. Question 5

    A 0.1 m wire carrying 5 A is perpendicular to a 0.2 T field. The force is:

    • A0.1 N
    • B1 N
    • C0.01 N
    • D10 N
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    F = 5 x 0.1 x 0.2 = 0.1 N.
