Answer the following:
21. What do you understand by good conductors of electricity?
Answer: The substances which allow electricity to pass through them are called good conductors.
22. What do you understand by bad conductors of electricity?
Answer: The substances which don’t allow electricity to pass through them are called bad conductors.
23. Name any three liquids that may cause the magnetic needle to deflect.
Answer: Vinegar, lemon juice hydrochloric acid etc.
24. Name the three effects of electric current.
Answer: There are 3 types of effects of electric current. They are
• Heating
• Magnetic
• Chemical
25. The bulb does not glow in the setup shown in Fig. 14.6. List the possible reasons. Explain your answer.
Answer: The bulb may not glow as
• The wires in the circuit may be loosely connected.
• The bulb may be fused.
• The liquid may be a poor conductor of electricity.
• The cells may be used up.
26. The process that you saw in Activity 14.7 is used for purification of copper. A thin plate of pure copper and a thick rod of impure copper are used as electrodes. Copper from impure rod is sought to be transferred to the thin copper plate. Which electrode should be attached to the positive terminal of the battery and why?
Answer: The thick rod of impure copper plate is to be attached to the positive terminal of the battery because when electric current is passed through the copper sulphate solution, it gets dissociated into copper and sulphate. The free copper, being positively charged, gets drawn to the negative terminal of the battery and gets deposited on it. On the other hand the loss of copper from the solution is regained from the impure copper rod which is attached to the positive terminal of the battery.
27. List some objects that are electroplated.
Answer: Some objects that are electroplated include handles of bike and car, jewellery, tin cans etc.
28. Define electroplating.
Answer: The process of depositing a layer of any desired material on another material by means of electricity is called electroplating.
29. Write a short note on LED.
Answer: The full form of LED is Light Emitting Diode. In an LED, the longer lead is attached to the positive terminal of the battery and the shorter lead to the negative terminal.
30. Why is a layer of zinc coated over iron?
Answer: A layer of zinc is coated over iron to prevent it from corrosion and rust.
