Question

(a) Why is a series arrangement not used for connecting domestic electrical appliances in a circuit?
​(b) Draw a diagram to show the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet. List any two properties of magnetic field lines.

Answer 1

(a) A series arrangement not used for connecting domestic electrical appliances in a circuit because if any one of the components connected in series stops working or get damaged, then the whole circuit would break up and no current will flow further in the circuit and none of the other devices would work.

(b)



Two properties of magnetic field lines:

(i) They originate from the north pole of the magnet and end at the south pole of the magnet.
(ii) They do not intersect each other.
