i) Mention the direction of electric current flowing in the

conductor.
ii) State the law that helped to determine the direction of
current.
Ans. :

Precautions to be taken to avoid over loading are ;

Should see that the insulation of live wire and neutral
wire is not damaged.
There should not be any fault like damage of insulation
of wires in the electrical appliances.
Should not connect too many appliances to a single
socket.
Should see that live wire and neutral wire should not
come in direct contact. 1
The earth wire connected to the metallic body of the
electric appliance provides a low-resistance conducting
path for the current in case of any leakage of current.
1
2

Earthing of electrical appliances is essential because,

It ensures that any leakage of current to the metallic
body of the appliance keeps its potential to that of the
earth, and the user may not get a severe electric shock.

Electric current is flowing towards the X end of the

thumb points towards the direction of current ; then
your fingers will wrap around the conductor in the

Ans. :

Place the bar magnet on a white paper and mark the

boundary of the magnet.

Place the compass needle near the North pole of the

magnet. Its South pole turns towards the North pole.
The North pole of the compass needle is directed away
1
from the North pole of the magnet.
2
1
Mark the position of two ends of the needle.
2

Now move the needle to a new position such that its

South pole occupies the position previously occupied
1
by its North pole.
2

In this way, proceed step by step till you reach the

South pole of the magnet.

Join the points marked on the paper by a smooth

1
curve. This curve represents a field line.
2

If two field lines cross each other, it would mean that at

the point of intersection, the compass needle would
point towards two directions, which is not possible. 1 3

Qn.

Nos.

Ans. :

a) Phenomenon of formation of rainbow in the atmosphere :

Rainbow is caused by the dispersion of sunlight

by tiny water droplets present in the atmosphere. 1
2

The water droplets act like small prisms ; they

refract and disperse the incident sunlight, then

reflect it internally and finally refract it again

when it comes out of the raindrop. 1

Due to the dispersion of light and internal

reflection, different colours reach the observer’s

1
eye.
2

b) Twinkling of stars :

The twinkling of stars is due to atmospheric

1
refraction of starlight.
2

The starlight on entering the earth’s atmosphere,

undergoes refraction continuously before it

1
reaches the earth.
2

The atmospheric refraction occurs in a medium of

1
gradually changing refractive index
2

As the path of rays of light coming from the star

goes on varying slightly, the apparent position of

the star fluctuates and the amount of starlight

entering the eye flickers. This is the twinkling

1
effect of stars.

a) Myopia :

Myopia is a defect of vision ; a person with this

defect can see nearby objects clearly but cannot

see distant objects distinctly.

A person with this defect has the far point nearer

than infinity.

In a myopic eye, the image of a distant object is

formed in front of the retina and not at the retina

Causes for myopia :

1
Excessive curvature of the eye lens.
2
1
Elongation of the eyeball.

b) Power of accommodation of eye :

The ability of the eye lens to adjust its focal

length. 1

While seeing the distant objects —

→ the curvature of the eye lens gets modified /

decreases by ciliary muscles

→ the focal length of the eye lens increases

→ the eye lens becomes thin.

b) i) State Ohm’s law.

ii) What is ‘electrical resistance’ of a conductor ? On

ii) Parallel circuit divides the current through

the electrical gadgets.

The total resistance in a parallel circuit

decreases and each gadget gets the required

current.

When one component fails, the circuit will

not break. 1

b) i) Ohm’s law :

The potential difference across the ends of a

given metallic wire in an electric circuit is

directly proportional to the current flowing

through it, provided its temperature remains

the same. 1

36. What is DNA replication ? How does re-establishment of

chromosome number occur in sexual reproduction ?
OR
What is placenta ? What is its function ? In human body
testes are located in scrotum outside the abdominal cavity.
Why ?

Ans. :

a) The process of giving rise to new DNA from the DNA of

mother cell during interphase of cell division. 1

b) Chromosome number is reduced to half by meiotic

cell division in sex cells. 1

During sexual reproduction when male and female

gametes fuse, the original number of
chromosomes will be re-established. 1 3

OR

Disc like tissue which is embedded in the uterine wall

is called placenta. 1

It supplies nutrients to developing embryo from

1
mother’s blood.
2

Waste material produced by embryo is removed and

1
drained into mother’s blood through placenta.
2

Sperm formation requires lower temperature than the

normal body temperature. 1 3

38. a) What is anaerobic respiration ? What products will be

produced in this process ?
b) What is double circulation of blood ? How this type of
blood circulation is advantageous to the birds and
mammals ?
Ans. :

a) Respiration that takes place in the absence of air

(oxygen) is called anaerobic respiration. 1
Alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy. 1
b) To supply pure oxygen to the cells of our body the
blood enters twice into the heart. This is called
double circulation. 1
1
To supply more energy.
2

To maintain constant temperature in the body.
