Question
How can we say that fish exhibits external fertilisation?
✓
Answer
Female fish lay eggs in water while male fish releases its sperms in water. Sperms swim and reach the eggs of fish, randomly due to water currents. When a sperm comes in contact with the viable egg, nuclei of both the cell fuses to form a zygote. This process of fertilisation takes place in water outside the female body, hence fertilisation is external in fishes.

→An electric bell has an electromagnet fitted in its circuit. One or two electromagnets made of wires coiled on iron pieces are fixed on the bell case. When the bell switch is pressed, the current flows through these coils, and these become magnets. These magnets attract a metal strip, which has a hammer attached to its end near the gong of the bell. The metal strip moves fast towards the electromagnet, and the hammer strikes the gong. At the same time, with the movement of the metal strip from its position, the electric circuit breaks, the magnet stops working, and the strip moves back to its original position.

Q.2. When the flow of current stops in the coil, what happens to the magnetic field around the electromagnet?
