Class 7 Science Chapter 10 MCQ

Here are all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

The electric heating appliances (such as electric room heater, electric iron etc.) works on the heating effect of electric current. All the electric heating appliances contains coils of high resistance wire, made of nichrome alloy. A lot of heat is produced in the heating element because it is made of high resistance nichrome-wire and negligible heat is produced in the connecting wires of copper because copper has very low resistance.

Portable generators as well as inverters has very high voltage of 220 volts.

The electric bulb or electric lamp which we use for producing light works on the heating effect of electric current. An electric bulb is basically used for producing light but it also gives out heat. In fact, a major part of the electricity consumed by the filament of an electric bulb is converted into heat (due to which the bulb becomes hot), only a small part of electricity is converted into light.

Here are all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

A fuse is a safety device which prevents electric fires and damage to electrical appliances due to excessive flow of current. A fuse works on the heating effect of current. A fuse consists a short length of a thin, tin-plated copper wire having low melting point. If due to some reason the current in household wiring suddenly becomes too large or exceeds the safe limit, then the fuse will blow off or cut or melt (its wire will be we get heated to much, melt and break the circuit). When the fuse wire breaks, electricity supply in the household wiring is automatically cut off before any damage can be done to the rest of wiring or to the electrical appliances being used.

Here are all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

MCB stand for miniature circuit breaker. These days MCBs or miniature circuit breakers are being used increasingly in household electric wiring, in place of traditional fuses. MCB does not work on the heating effect of current. MCB works on the magnetic effect of current.

All the bulbs will glow simultaneously because there is no time lag in the flow of current as soon as the circuit is complete.

The heating elements of most of the electric heating appliances such as, electric iron, electric kettle, electric geyser, electric oven, hot plates and hair dryer etc., cannot be seen by us because they are concealed inside the body of these appliances.

The electric bulb or electric lamp which we use for producing light works on the heating effect of electric current. An electric bulb is basically used for producing light but it also gives out heat. In fact, a major part of the electricity consumed by the filament of an electric bulb is converted into heat (due to which the bulb becomes hot), only a small part of electricity is converted into light. The production of heat by an electric bulb is not desirable because it leads to the wastage of electricity.

Here all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

We use a thin wire in a fuse because it has a much greater resistance than the rest of connecting wires. When a fuse gets blown or breaks a new fuse has to be fitted in its place to restore the electricity supply in the household circuit. We should not use a thick wire as a fuse wire because it will have a low resistance and then it will not get heated to its melting point easily.

MCB stand for miniature circuit breaker. These days MCBs or miniature circuit breakers are being used increasingly in household electric wiring, in place of traditional fuses. MCB does not work on the heating effect of current. MCB works on the magnetic effect of current.

An electrical fuse is a safety device in the circuit that protects electrical appliances and systems by breaking the connections when a short circuit is occurring. The fuse wire is made up of Sn (tin) and Pb (lead) alloy because of its high resistance and low melting point.

Generally, electric current can produce three effects which are heating effect, magnetic effect and chemical effect.

Here all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

When the switch is in off position, circuit is incomplete. It is said to be open and therefore, no current flows through it.

Here all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

Here all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

Here all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

Here all the statements are correct. Hence your answer will be option [D].

The electric bell works on the magnetic effect of current, not the heating effect of current.

For using electric gadgets or appliances or circuit, we have to turn the switch in ON position. Therefore, precautions given in option [D], need not to be considered.
