Andre Marie Ampere suggested that a magnet must exert an equal and opposite force on a current-carrying conductor, which was experimentally found to be true. But we know that current is due to charges in motion. Thus, it is clear that a charge moving in a magnetic field experience a force, except when it is moving in a direction parallel to it. If the direction of motion is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field, the magnitude of force experienced depends on the charge, velocity (v), strength of magnetic field (B), and sine of the angle between v and B. Direction of magnetic force is given by Fleming’s left-hand rule.

Read the following and answer any three questions from (i) to (iv).
The distance between the centre of the nucleus and the outermost shell of electrons is known as atomic radius. On moving from left to right along a period, atomic radii decrease because effective nuclear charge increases. For example, the atomic size decreases regularly from Li to F in the second period and from Na to Cl in the third period. It may, however, be noted that in any period, the noble gas has the largest size. On moving down in a group, atomic radii increase.

Refining is the process of purification of metals. One of the important method of refining is electrolysis. In electrolysis, electrical energy is used to bring about a non-spontaneous redox reaction. This is done by passing an electric current through a liquid containing ions, known as an electrolyte. In contrast to metals, the current in electrolytes is carried by the movement of ions rather than the movement of electrons. The solid conductors inserted into the liquid are called electrodes, the one with a positive charge is called the anode (because it attracts anions) and the one with the negative charge is called the cathode.
A diagrammatic representation of electrolysis of copper is shown below :


(i) Name the electrolyte used in refining of copper.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v).
The green plants make their food, through photosynthesis and are therefore called autotrophs. All other organisms depend upon green plants for food and are referred to as heterotrophs. Green plants carry out photosynthesis by using light energy of sun. The first phase of reactions are directly light driven therefore called light reactions. The second phase of reactions are not directly light driven but are dependent on the products of light reactions and are called dark reactions.
