    • (a) ellipses
    • (b) concentric circles
    • (c) no field
    • (d) straight lines
  2. 2. A solenoid carrying current behaves like a:
    • (a) capacitor
    • (b) battery
    • (c) resistor
    • (d) bar magnet
  3. 3. Fleming's left-hand rule gives the direction of:
    • (a) the force on a conductor
    • (b) the magnetic field
    • (c) the voltage
    • (d) induced current
  4. 4. An electric motor converts:
    • (a) heat to light
    • (b) mechanical energy to electrical energy
    • (c) electrical energy to mechanical energy
    • (d) sound to electricity
  5. 5. What does the right-hand thumb rule tell us?
  6. 6. Name the rule used to find the direction of force on a conductor in a magnetic field.
  7. 7. Explain the principle and working of an electric motor.

  1. 1. (b) concentric circles — Field lines are concentric circles around the wire.
  2. 2. (d) bar magnet — Its field resembles that of a bar magnet.
  3. 3. (a) the force on a conductor — It gives the direction of force on a current-carrying conductor (used in motors).
  4. 4. (c) electrical energy to mechanical energy — A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
  5. 5. The direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor relative to the current direction.
  6. 6. Fleming's left-hand rule.
  7. 7. An electric motor works on the principle that a current-carrying coil placed in a magnetic field experiences a force. When current flows through the coil, the two sides experience forces in opposite directions (by Fleming's left-hand rule), creating a turning effect that rotates the coil. A split-ring commutator reverses the current every half rotation so the coil keeps turning in the same direction, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
