Solution

(1) The device used for producing current is called a generator.

(2) At the time of short circuit, the current in the circuit increases.

(3) The direction of the magnetic field around a straight conductor carrying current is given by Right hand rule

(B)

(1) True

(2) False

Correct statement: Magnetic field decreases as we go away from a magnet.

(3) False

Correct statement: Magnetic lines of force never cross each other.

(4) True

(C) (1) Bar Magnet

Reason: It is a magnet while the rest are devices working on electromagnetism.

(2) Direct current

Reason: The rest are parts of a generator.

(3) Generator

Reason: It produce current while the rest are safety measures in using electricity.

(4) Thermometer

Reason: It is a temperature measuring instrument while the rest are devices working on electromagnetism.
