Objective Type Questions on Magnetism
Que-1: If we suspend a magnet freely, it will settle in:
(i)east-west direction
(ii)north-south direction
(iii)north-east direction
(iv)east-south direction
Ans- north-south direction
Reason — A freely suspended magnet rests in the north-south direction because its poles align with Earth’s magnetic field, which has a magnetic south near the geographic north and vice versa.
Que-2: Making a magnetic substance a magnet by bringing it closer to another magnet without touching it, is :
(i)magnetic induction method
(ii)single touch method
(iii)double touch method
(iv)electrical method
Ans- magnetic induction method
Reason — When a magnetic substance is placed nearby (or brought near) a magnet, it acts as a magnet i.e., it acquires the properties of a magnet temporarily but as soon as the magnet is removed, the substance no longer remains a magnet and this process is called magnetic induction.
Que-3: An example of natural magnet is :
(i)iron
(ii)steel
(iii)lodestone
(iv)none of above
Ans- lodestone
Reason — The ore of lodestone found in nature are called natural magnets.
Que-4: The artificial magnet used to detect direction in the laboratory is :
(i)U-shaped magnet
(ii)horse shoe magnet
(iii)electromagnet
(iv)magnetic compass
Ans- magnetic compass
Reason — Magnetic compass is used to find the directions in the laboratory because its needle rests in geographic north-south direction.
Que-5: A …… … .. is used to find the geographic direction at a place because its needle rests in geographic north south direction.(i)Magnetic compass
(ii)Bar magnet
(iii)U-shaped magnet
(iv)None of these
Ans- Magnetic compass
Reason — Magnetic compass is used to find the geographic directions at a place because its needle rests in geographic north-south direction.
Que-6: The attraction property of a magnet is maximum at its
(i)centre
(ii)north pole
(iii)south pole
(iv)both (2) and (3)
Ans- both (2) and (3)
Reason — The ends of the magnet where the attraction property is maximum are called the magnetic poles of the magnet.
Fill in the blanks :
Que-1: Temporary magnets are usually made up of …………… .
Ans- Temporary magnets are usually made up of soft iron .
Que-2: Rough handling destroys the …………… properties of a magnet.
Ans- Rough handling destroys the magnetic properties of a magnet.
Que-3: Like poles …………… each other.
Ans- Like poles repel each other.
Que-4: A freely suspended magnet points in the …………… direction.
Ans- A freely suspended magnet points in the north-south direction.
Que-5: In a magnet, …………… have the maximum attractive property.
Ans- In a magnet, ends have the maximum attractive property.
Que-6: A magnet has …………… poles.
Ans- A magnet has two poles.
Write true or false for each statement.
Que-1: Artificial magnets are weaker than natural magnets.
Ans- False because artificial magnets are stronger than natural magnets.
Que-2: Poles of a magnet cannot be separated.
Ans- True as magnetic poles always exist in pairs so it is not possible to separate the two poles of a magnet.
Que-3: A magnet can attract only a magnetic substance.
Ans- True because the substances that get attracted by a magnet are called magnetic substances.
Que-4: A magnet has no effect when it is heated to a high temperature.
Ans- False since a magnet can be demagnetised i.e., the magnetic properties of a magnet can be destroyed by heating the magnet to a high temperature.
Que-5: Permanent magnets get easily demagnetised.
Ans- False as permanent magnets do not get easily demagnetised.
Que-6: Magnetic poles occur in pairs.
Ans- True since magnetic poles always exist in pairs.
Que-7: Single touch method is better than the electrical method for making a magnet.
Ans- False because the electrical method is actually better than the single touch method for making a magnet as it produces stronger and more uniform magnets, can magnetize objects more quickly and allows control over the strength of the magnet by varying current or number of coil turns.
Que-8: Magnetic keeper is a wooden piece.
Ans- False since the magnetic keepers are pieces of soft iron.
Que-9: Copper cannot be magnetised.
Ans- True because copper is a non-magnetic substance which does not get attracted by a magnet and hence cannot be magnetised.
Match the following columns :
| Column A | Column B | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (a) | Steel | (i) | to store magnets |
| (b) | Soft iron | (ii) | temporary magnet |
| (c) | Used in electric bell | (iii) | permanent magnet |
| (d) | Magnetic keepers | (iv) | electromagnet |
Ans- (a)- (iii)
(b)- (ii)
(c)- (iv)
(d)- (i)
