6. Assertion (A): Two bar magnets attract when they are brought near to each other with the same
pole.
Reason (R): Unlike poles will attract each other.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true.
7. A student has taken ammeter reading and voltmeter reading while verifying Ohm’s law. Draw the
graph he is likely to obtain between the ammeter readings (I) and voltmeter readings (V). Why
should this line graph pass through the origin?
8. Explain the role of the following parts of the human eye
a) Ciliary muscles b) Aquous Humor c) Vitreous Humor d) Retina
9. i) Calculate the total resistance of the circuit
ii) What is the reading of the ammeter ?
iii) What will be the ammeter reading if an exactly similar cells connected in series with the given
cell?
10. i) What is the heating effect of electric current?
ii) Write an expression for the amount of heat produced in a resistor when an electric current is
passed through it stating the meanings of the symbols used.
iii) Name two appliances based on heating effect of electric current.
11. i) Write down the three properties of magnetic lines of force.
ii) Explain the meaning of the statement 'current rating of a fuse is 5A'
12. i) Trace the sequence of events which occur when a bright light is focused on your eyes.
ii) Define the term power of accommodation.
iii) A person may suffer from both myopia and hypermetropia defects. What is this condition
called?
OR
i) Explain why the image distance in the eye does not change when we change the distance of
an object from the eye?
ii) List two causes of hypermetropia.
Iii) How to correct this type of if someone suffers from this kind of problem.
13. The spreading of light by the air molecules is called scattering of light. The light having least
wavelength scatters more. The sun appears red at sunrise and sunset, appearance of blue sky it is
due to the scattering of light. The colour of the scattered light depends on the size of particles. The
smaller the molecules in the atmosphere scatter smaller wavelengths of light. The amount of
scattering of light depends on the wavelength of light. When light from sun enters the earth’s
atmosphere, it gets scattered by the dust particles and air molecules present in the atmosphere. The
path of sunlight entering in the dark room through a fine hole is seen because of scattering of the
sun light by the dust particles present in its path inside the room.
i) When an astronaut in a spaceship and if he looks towards earth then which color of earth appears
to him?
ii) What is the reason behind the blue color of sky?
iii) Why do we use the red signal as a danger sign?
iv) What do you opinion on the travelled distance by the light during the time of sunrise and
sunset ?
