15. a) i) Suspend the iron bar and the bar magnet separately using the
string1.
- Displace Both slightly horizontall1.
- Displace Both slightly horizontally.
ii) The bar magnet nettles pointing1 in the North – South direction.
- The iron bar nettles pointing in any direction1.
b) P requires less current1 for all the dispoles1 to be aligned in one
direction/ to reach magnetic saturation while Q requires more
current for all the dipoles to be aligned in one direction / to reach
magnetic saturation.
- P is soft magnetic material while Q is hard magnetic material1
c) i) It turns anti clockwise1
ii) It turns clockwise1
iii) 1) Attach a pointer with scale on the left side of the metre
rule.1
2. Vary the current by adjusting 1 the rheostat.
3. Calibrate or mark the scale for low and high current.1
16. a) i) In transverse wave, the vibration of particles is perpendicular to
the direction of travel of the wave but in longitudinal the vibration
is parallel to the direction of the wave travel1
ii) Sound wave requires medium for transgression but e.m waves does
not require medium.1
- Sound wave is longitudinal and e.m wave is transverse.1
