Question
Under what conditions permanent electromagnet is obtained if a current carrying solenoid is used? Support your answer with the help of a labelled circuit diagram.
✓
Answer
Permanent electromagnet is obtained if:
- Direct current flows through the solenoid and
- Steel rod (a magnetic substance) is placed inside the solenoid.
In other words, a steel rod can be made a permanent electro-magnet if it is placed inside a solenoid carrying direct current as shown in figure.

Draw a simple diagram of the human eye and label clearly the cornea, iris, pupil, ciliar muscles, eye-lens, retina, optic nerve and blind spot.
The two rays chosen for the construction of ray diagram is:
Ray 1: When the incident ray is parallel to the principal axis, the reflected ray will pass through the focus of concave mirror or it appears to pass through the focus of convex mirror.
Ray 2: When the incident ray passes through or appears to pass through the centre of curvature, the light, after reflection from the spherical mirror, reflects back along the same path.
The image formed is real, inverted, magnified and is formed beyond the centre of curvature.
