ANSWER SHEET

1. Propagation of Sound Waves

Q1. What is sound, and how does it propagate?


A. Sound is a mechanical wave that propagates through a medium via compressions and
rarefactions.

Q2. Differentiate between longitudinal and transverse waves.


A.

 Longitudinal waves: Particles move parallel to wave direction (e.g., sound waves).

 Transverse waves: Particles move perpendicular to wave direction (e.g., light waves).

Q3. Define wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.


A.

 Wavelength (λ): Distance between two consecutive crests/troughs.

 Frequency (f): Number of vibrations per second.

 Amplitude: Maximum displacement of particles.


Q4. Why does sound travel faster in solids than in gases?
A. Solids have higher density and elasticity, allowing particles to transmit vibrations faster.

Q5. What is the formula for the speed of sound?


A. v=fλ v = f\lambda

Q6. What is the condition for an echo to be heard?


A. The minimum distance should be 17.2m, and the reflected sound must return within 0.1s.

Q7. What is SONAR? Give its formula.


A. SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) uses ultrasound to detect objects underwater.

2. Magnetism

Q8. Define magnetic field.


A. The region around a magnet where its force is felt.

Q9. State Oersted’s experiment and its conclusion.


A. It demonstrated that a current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field.

Q10. Differentiate between temporary and permanent magnets.


A.

 Temporary Magnets: Lose magnetism when current stops (e.g., electromagnets).

 Permanent Magnets: Retain magnetism (e.g., bar magnets).

Q11. What is the right-hand thumb rule?


A. If you hold a current-carrying conductor with your thumb pointing in the direction of
current, your curled fingers show the direction of the magnetic field.

Q12. What happens when a bar magnet is cut in half?


A. Each half becomes a smaller magnet with a north and south pole.

Q13. Why does a freely suspended magnet always point in the North-South direction?
A. Due to the Earth's magnetic field.

3. Current Electricity

Q14. Define electric current, voltage, and resistance.


A.

 Current (I): Flow of electrons.

 Voltage (V): Electrical potential difference.

 Resistance (R): Opposition to current.

Q15. State Ohm’s Law with formula.


A. Ohm’s Law states that V = IR (Voltage = Current × Resistance).
Q16. What happens to resistance in series and parallel circuits?
A.

 Series Circuit: Total resistance increases.

 Parallel Circuit: Total resistance decreases.

Q17. What is the SI unit of current?


A. Ampere (A); 1A = 1C/s.

Q18. Give the formulas for electrical power and energy.


A.

 Power: P=VI P = VI

 Energy: E=P×t

Q19. Why do metals conduct electricity but plastics do not?


A. Metals have free electrons that allow current to flow, while plastics do not.

Q20. What is the function of a fuse in an electric circuit?


A. It melts when excessive current flows, preventing damage.

4. Electromagnetism

Q21. What is electromagnetism?


A. It is the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying conductor.

Q22. State Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule.


A.

 Thumb → Motion

 Index Finger → Magnetic Field

 Middle Finger → Current Direction

Q23. Differentiate between an electromagnet and a permanent magnet.


A.

 Electromagnets: Can be turned on/off, strength can be controlled.

 Permanent Magnets: Always magnetized.

Q24. Name three factors that affect the strength of an electromagnet.


A.

1. More turns of coil

2. Increase in current

3. Soft iron core

Q25. What is the working principle of an electric motor?(SKIP)


A. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using a magnetic field and current.
