Every question in the paper gets a full exam-length answer in the app — organised by marks, the way a topper writes it.
A student passes electric current through a circular wire loop and places a cardboard sheet perpendicular to the plane of the loop. On sprinkling iron filings over the cardboard, the student observes a definite pattern of magnetic field lines. (a) Draw the magnetic field pattern around the current-carrying circular loop. (b) Explain the nature of the magnetic field at the center of the loop. (c) State how the magnetic field strength at the center of the loop changes when the current through it is increased.
The field lines are concentric circles; the field is uniform at the center; increasing current strengthens the magnetic field.

A student places a sheet of cardboard over a bar magnet and sprinkles iron filings on it. The filings arrange themselves in a definite pattern around the magnet. Based on this observation, draw the pattern of field lines and write any two properties of magnetic field lines.
Field lines emerge from the north pole and enter the south pole; they do not intersect.

An electric oven of 2 kW power rating is operated in a domestic electric circuit (220 V) that has a current rating of 5 A. What result do you expect? Explain.
The oven exceeds the current rating, which may cause a circuit overload.
