The magnetic field, produced by it is similar to the magnetic field of a bar magnet. The field lines produced in a, current-carrying solenoid is shown in the following figure., In the above figure, when the north pole of a bar magnet is brought near the end connected to, the negative terminal of the battery, the solenoid repels the bar magnet. Since like poles repel, each other, the end connected to the negative terminal of the battery behaves as the north pole, of the solenoid and the other end behaves as a south pole. Hence, one end of the solenoid, behaves as a north pole and the other end behaves as a south pole., 25.

This is the principle of, electromagnetic induction., (i) When a bar magnet is pushed into a coil of insulated copper wire, a current is induced, momentarily in the coil. As a result, the needle of the galvanometer deflects momentarily in a, particular direction., (ii) When the bar magnet is withdrawn from inside the coil of the insulated copper wire, a, current is again induced momentarily in the coil in the opposite direction. As a result, the, needle of the galvanometer deflects momentarily in the opposite direction., (iii) When a bar magnet is held stationary inside the coil, no current will be induced in the coil., Hence, galvanometer will show no deflection., 28. Two circular coils A and B are placed closed to each other. If the current in the coil A is, changed, will some current be induced in the coil B? Give reason., Two circular coils A and B are placed close to each other. When the current in coil A is, changed, the magnetic field associated with it also changes. As a result, the magnetic field, around coil B also changes. This change in magnetic field lines around coil B induces an, electric current in it. This is called electromagnetic induction., 29. State the rule to determine the direction of a (i) magnetic field produced around a, straight conductor-carrying current, (ii) force experienced by a current-carrying straight, conductor placed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to it, and (iii) current, induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field., (i) Maxwell’s right hand thumb rule, (ii) Fleming’s left hand rule, (iii) Fleming’s right hand rule, 30. When does an electric short circuit occur?, If the resistance of an electric circuit becomes very low, then the current flowing through the, circuit becomes very high. This is caused by connecting too many appliances to a single socket, or connecting high power rating appliances to the light circuits. This results in a short circuit., When the insulation of live and neutral wires undergoes wear and tear and then touches each, other, the current flowing in the circuit increases abruptly. Hence, a short circuit occurs., 31. What is the function of an earth wire? Why is it necessary to earth metallic appliances?, , DDPI Bangalore Rural Dist, , Science Study Package 2021-22, , pg. 8

That is why ionic compounds, have high melting points., 15) Describe the formation of ionic bond in the sodium chloride., Ans: A sodium atom has one electron in its outermost shell. If it loses the electron from its, M shell then its L shell now becomes the outermost shell and that has a stable octet. The nucleus, of this atom still has 11 protons but the number of electrons has become 10, so there is a net, positive charge giving us a sodium cation Na+. On the other hand chlorine has seven electrons in, its outermost shell and it requires one more electron to complete its octet. If sodium and chlorine, were to react, the electron lost by sodium could be taken up by chlorine. After gaining an, electron, the chlorine atom gets a unit negative charge, because its nucleus has 17 protons and, there are 18 electrons in its K, L and M shells. This gives us a chloride anion C1–. So both these, elements can have a give-and-take relation between them as follows Sodium and chloride ions,, being oppositely charged, attract each other and are held by strong electrostatic forces of, attraction to exist as sodium chloride (NaCl)., , DDPI Bangalore Rural Dist, , Science Study Package 2021-22, , pg. 31

What are the factors that cause speciation?, Origin of new species from pre existing species is called speciation. Natural selection, genetic, drift, decreased gene flow, geographic and reproductive isolation are the causes for speciation., 13. Explain genetic drift with example., Variation that provides diversity without any adaptation is called genetic drift. In a population of, red beetles variation produced blue colored beetles. Accidentally an elephant stepped on the bush, and all the red beetles died. Blue coloured survived and continued without any favorable variation., 14. “Favorable variations lead to origin of new traits in a population by natural selection”., Explain with example., In a population of red beetles variation produced green beetles. As the green beetles were not seen, by crows they survived and their progeny continued. But the red ones were eaten and slowly, vanished., 15. “Acquired traits are not inherited over generations”. Explain with example., A bush of beetles suffered with plant disease. This reduced the leaves and the weight of beetles, that fed on leaves. This continued for few generations. But after many years the disease cured and, leaves reappeared. So beetles gained their weight. This is because they have not under gone gene, variation., 16. What are homologous and analogous organs?

It, will receive equal halves of genetic material from both of its parents. So the genetic contribution is, ensured., 24. Why are acquired traits inherited by future generations of an organism?, Acquired traits will not bring about any change in DNA of germ cells. Hence they cannot pass on, to the future generation., 25. How are the areas of study – evolution and classification - interlinked?, Classification is grouping organisms on structural similarities and differences. In evolution we use, these structural comparisons to find origin and relationships of organisms. Hence they are, interlinked., 26. Why the small number of surviving tigers is is a cause of worry according to genetics., Small number of tigers limits the gene pool and gene flow of the species. This will affect the, variation in population. As variation is affected, the chances of their survival are worried., 27. Explain in brief about human evolution., Human originated from Africa.

Ex: Pesticides like DDT sprinkled on plants enters the body of humans, through food chain. Bio magnification of DDT Water ---Phytoplankton --- fish --- birds, 14. What is the importance of food chain and food web?, i) It helps in the transfer of energy form one tropic level to another., ii) Provides information about biotic components of an ecosystem., iii) It helps to analyses the interaction between the organisms of an ecosystem, 15. Usually more than four tropic levels do not exist in an ecosystem. Why?, The number of tropic levels in an ecosystem is restricted up to 4 – 5 because only 10 percent of, the energy is transferred to each tropic level from the lower tropic level. Energy present in the last, tropic level is not enough to the existence of next tropic level., 16. What is ozone?

Reuse is better than recycling of materials give reasons to justify the statement., Reduce is better than recycling because, i) Reuse of material does not use any energy. ii) It, reduces the stress on environment. iii) Things are maximally utilized, as they are used again and, again, instead of being thrown away., 20. Why do we need alternative source of energy?, Our resources are limited and with the increase in population the demand for all the resources, in increasing in exponential rate. So to save these resources we need alternative sources of, energy., 21. What are 5R practices which protects environment. Explain briefly., DDPI Bangalore Rural Dist, , Science Study Package 2021-22, , pg. 62

1) Refuse 2) Reduce 3) Reuse 4) Repurpose 5) Recycle, 1) Refuse: Refuse to buy products that can harm you and the environment. Say no to single use, plastic carry bags., 2) Reduce: This means that you use less. Save electricity by switching off lights and fans when, they are not required. Save water by repairing leaky taps. Do not waste food., 3) Reuse: This is actually even better than recycling because the process of recycling uses some, energy you simply use things again and again. Instead of throwing away used envelopes, you can, reverse it and use it again. The plastic bottles in which you buy various food items like jam and, pickle can be used for storing things in the kitchen., 4) Repurpose: This means when a product can no more be used for the original purpose, think, carefully and use it for some other useful purpose. For eg: Caps with broken handles can be used, to grow small plants and as feeding vessels for birds., 5) Recycle: This means that you collect plastic, paper, glass and metal items and recycle these, materials to make required things., 26. Why do we need to manage our resources carefully?, Because, i) These are not continuously available ii) The demand for these resources keeps on, increasing. iii) These resources also need to be preserved for future generations iv) These are, equally distributed amongst the rich and the poor., 27. Write some of the simple choices that can make a differences in our energy consumption, patterns., Some of the simple choices that can make a difference in our energy consumption ways and, proved to be environmental friendly are. i) Walking / cycling instead of a taking a bus or driving, car. ii) Using stairs instead of a lift to climb upiii) Wearing an extra sweater rather than using a, heater which runs on electricity., 28. What was “ChipkoAndolan”? How did this Andolan ultimately benefit local people and, the environment?, The movement, which was started in Reni village in Garhwal to protect the trees by hugging them, and not allowing cutting of these trees, was called “ChipkoAndolan” i) The Chipko movement, quickly spread across communities and media and forced the government, to whom the forest, belongs, to rethink their priorities in the name of forest produce. ii) Due to participation of local, people, it led to the efficient management of forests. iii) It explains that the loss of forest is not, only influenced on forest product, but also influenced on water reservoirs and quality of the soil., 29. What are greenhouse gasses? What is the effect of increasing of greenhouse gasses in the, environment?, Carbon dioxide, Methane, CFC‟s and Oxides of nitrogen.It increases average earth’s atmospheric, temperature by trapping infrared radiations., 30. List the methods to reduce the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. a. Using, public transport. b. Using compressed natural gas (CNG). c. Increase the growth of forest and, prevent deforestation. d. Conversion of waste into compost instead of burning. e. Using bicycles, instead of motor cycle., 31. What are the advantages of storage of water under the soil (as ground water)?, DDPI Bangalore Rural Dist, , Science Study Package 2021-22, , pg. 63

The various advantages of underground water are 1. It does not evaporate. 2. Helps to recharge, well.3. It provides moisture for vegetation over a wide area.4. It does not provide breeding, grounds for mosquitoes like stagnant water. 5. It is protected from contamination by human and, animal waste., 32. What are the advantages behind watershed management?, 1. Increases production and income of watershed community, 2. Lowers the risk of drought and floods, 3. Increases the life of downstream dams and reservoirs, 33. Name the ancient water harvesting structures., In Rajasthan - khadins,tanks, nadis, in Maharashtra – bandharas and taals, in Madhya Pradesh and, utterpradesh – bundhis, in Bihar – ahar and pynes, Kulhs – Himachal Pradesh, in Tamilnadu – eri,, Kerala – surangam, in Karnataka – katta, 34. Forests are biodiversity hotspots. Justify., Forests have a huge number of species and are threatened by human habitation. So they are called, bio-diversity hotspots., , DDPI Bangalore Rural Dist, , Science Study Package 2021-22, , pg. 64
