Question
Suggest a method to produce a rainbow in your house.
✓
Answer
A rainbow can be produced using a prism. Another way of producing a rainbow is to dip a mirror inside water, keeping it inclined along the wall of a tumbler. The light coming from water after reflecting from the mirror will give a rainbow.

Magnetic force is always normal to the velocity of a charge and therefore does no work. An iron nail held near a magnet, when released, increases its kinetic energy as it moves to cling to the magnet. What agency is responsible for this increase in kinetic energy if not the magnetic field?
