Sumit while checking the conductivity of lemon water, connected the tester with lemon water. But, the bulb in the tester used for checking didn't glow. He checked all connections and components and all were good. What steps he can try now? A. He should conclude that lemon water do not conduct electricity.  B. Bring the magnetic needle near the wire and check for its deflection.  C. Replace the bulb with the LED Bulbs. 

Sumit while checking the conductivity of lemon water, connected the tester with lemon water. But, the bulb in the tester used for checking didn't glow. He checked all connections and components and all were good. What steps he can try now? A. He should conclude that lemon water do not conduct electricity.  B. Bring the magnetic needle near the wire and check for its deflection.  C. Replace the bulb with the LED Bulbs.  Correct Answer B, C

Concept:

  • The electric bulb glows when the current makes its filament hot. 
  • If the current provided is not sufficient to make it hot, the bulb will not glow. 
  • Magnetic effect of current: The current has a magnetic effect and it attracts magnetic materials just as another magnet. 
  • LED Bulb: Light Emitting Diodes are devices that can glow even in very small currents. 


Explanation:

  • The Electric bulb will not glow if sufficient current is not provided. 
  • The lemon-water solution is a good conductor of electricity but a lesser good conductor as compared to metals. 
  • So, sometimes bulb may not glow. 
  • In that case, we can use a magnetic tester.
    • A magnetic needle is brought near the wires. 
    • If deflection is observed, we can say that the current is flowing and lemon - water conducts electricity. 
  • Another way to check is using a light-emitting diode. 
    • The LED bulb requires much less current than an electric bulb to glow. 
    • So, if LED is glowing, we can say there is a current.


Therefore, Both B and C options can be used.

  • LED has two wires attached to it called leads. 
  • The larger lead is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the smaller one is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

You want to decorate your house with 300 light bulbs of four selected colors. You already have 32 red, 26 green and 9 yellow bulbs. You have no blue bulbs, each bulb costs Rs. 15 and you get 20% discount if you purchase 50 or more bulbs of the same color and 30% discount when you purchase 70 or more bulbs of new color. How much would you spend if you decorated your house with an equal number of bulbs of each color?
A teacher is trying to teach the concept of good & bad conductors of electricity to class VI students. He begins by providing the definition of two terms. He then demonstrates how placing a good conductor like a safety pin between two ends of an open circuit consisting of a battery and a bulb completes it and bulb begins to glow. On the other hand, placing a poor conductor like a plastic scale does not complete the circuit and the bulb does not glow. He then invites the students turn-wise to his desk & asks them to themselves verify this. How would you evaluate the approach from an inquiry - oriented perspective?
An electric cell is connected to the bulb from its one end. The other end of both bulb and cell is open. Given, the connections are correct and bulb and cell both are in working conditions, which among the following will ensure that the bulb will not glow when it is connected across both open ends?
Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.
The Amazon basin has been continuously inhabited for at least 10, 000 years, possibly more. Its earliest inhabitants were stone-age peoples, living in hundreds of far-flung tribes, some tiny, others numbering in the tens of thousands. It was from the west that Europeans explorers first arrived. In 1541 a Spanish expedition from Quito, led by Gonzalo Pizarro, ran short of supplies while exploring east of the Andes in what is today Peru. Pizarros cousin Francisco de Orellana offered to take 60 men along with the boats from the expedition and forage for supplies. De Orellana floated down the Rio Napo to its confluence with the Amazon, near Iquitos (Peru), and then to the mouth of the Amazon. Along the way his expedition suffered numerous attacks by Indians; some of the Indian warriors, they reported, were female, like the Amazons of Greek mythology, and thus the worlds greatest river got its name. No one made a serious effort to claim this sweaty territory, however, until the Portuguese built a fort near the mouth of the river at Belém in 1616, and sent Pedro Teixeira up the river to Quito and back between 1637 and 1639. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Portuguese bandeirantes (groups of roaming adventurers) penetrated ever further into the rain forest in pursuit of gold and Indian slaves, exploring as far as present-day Rondônia, and the Guaporé and Madeira river valleys. Amazonian Indians had long used the sap from rubber trees to make waterproof bags and other items. European explorers recognized the potential value of natural latex, but were unable to market it because it tended to grow soft in the heat, or brittle in the cold, and thus had limited appeal outside the rain forest. However, in 1842 American Charles Goodyear developed vulcanization (made natural rubber durable) and in 1890 Irelands John Dunlop patented pneumatic rubber tires. Soon there was an unquenchable demand for rubber in the recently industrialized USA and Europe, and the price of rubber on international markets soared. As profits skyrocketed, so did exploitation of the seringueiros, or rubber tappers, who were lured into the Amazon, mostly from the drought-stricken northeast, by the promise of prosperity only to be locked into a cruel system of virtual slavery dominated by seringalistas (owners of rubber-bearing forests). Rigged scales, hired guns, widespread illiteracy among the rubber tappers, and monopoly of sales and purchases all combined to perpetuate the workers debt and misery. In addition, seringueiros had to contend with jungle fevers, Indian attacks and all manner of deprivation.
