Question 51:
Electric current produces :
View Solution
Step 1: Analyze the effects of electric current.
Electric current is the flow of electric charge. When current flows through a conductor, it produces several effects.
Effect 1: Heating Effect of Electric Current (Joule Heating)
When electric current flows through a conductor, the moving electrons collide with the atoms or ions of the conductor. These collisions transfer kinetic energy to the atoms, causing them to vibrate more rapidly and leading to an increase in the temperature of the conductor. This phenomenon is known as the heating effect of electric current or Joule heating. Examples include electric heaters, incandescent light bulbs, and electric kettles.
Effect 2: Magnetic Effect of Electric Current
Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered in 1820 that an electric current produces a magnetic field around the conductor. This means that a current-carrying wire behaves like a magnet and can deflect a compass needle. This effect is the basis for electromagnets, electric motors, generators, and many other electrical devices.
Step 3: Evaluate the options.
(1) Heating effect: This is a well-known effect of electric current (Joule heating).
(2) Magnetic effect: This is also a well-known effect of electric current (Ørsted's discovery).
(3) Both 1 & 2: Since electric current produces both heating and magnetic effects, this option is correct.
(4) None of the above: This is incorrect because both effects are produced.
Step 4: Conclude the answer.
Electric current produces both heating and magnetic effects.
(3) Both 1 & 2 Quick Tip: Electric current has several important effects. The heating effect (Joule heating) is due to the resistance of the conductor, while the magnetic effect (Ørsted's discovery) is fundamental to electromagnetism and the operation of motors and generators.

Question 91:
Rancidity is due to oxidation of:
View Solution
Step 1: Understand Rancidity.
Rancidity is the process of degradation of fats and oils due to oxidation. This occurs when unsaturated fatty acids in oils and fats react with oxygen in the presence of heat, light, or catalysts, leading to the formation of unpleasant odors and flavors.
Step 2: Analyze Each Option.
Option (1): Oil — Incorrect, as rancidity affects both oils and fats, not just oils.
Option (2): Fats — Incorrect, as rancidity affects both oils and fats, not just fats.
Option (3): Oil and Fats — Correct, as rancidity is caused by the oxidation of both oils and fats.
Option (4): None of these — Incorrect, as options (1) and (2) are partially correct, but the most accurate answer includes both oils and fats.
Step 3: Final Answer. \(\)
(3) Oil and Fats Quick Tip: Rancidity is a chemical reaction that primarily affects unsaturated fats and oils. It is a form of oxidation that leads to the breakdown of these lipids, resulting in undesirable changes in flavor, odor, and texture. Both oils and fats are susceptible to this process.

Question 136:
Choose an antonym (opposite in meaning) for 'short':
View Solution
Step 1: Understand the meaning of 'antonym'.
An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word.
Step 2: Understand the meaning of 'short'.
'Short' can refer to a small length, distance, or duration. It can also refer to a small height (e.g., a short person).
Step 3: Evaluate each option as a potential antonym for 'short'.
(1) small: While 'small' can sometimes be related to 'short' (e.g., a small object can be short in dimension), it is a synonym in certain contexts, not a direct antonym for all meanings of short. 'Small' refers to overall size, while 'short' often refers to a specific dimension like length or height.
(2) less: 'Less' is a comparative adjective or adverb meaning a smaller amount or degree. It is not an antonym for 'short' in terms of length or height.
(3) long: 'Long' is a direct antonym for 'short' when referring to length or duration (e.g., a long rope vs. a short rope, a long journey vs. a short journey).
(4) tall: 'Tall' is a direct antonym for 'short' when referring specifically to height (e.g., a tall person vs. a short person). However, 'long' is a more general antonym covering both length and duration, and is often the primary antonym for 'short' in many contexts.
Step 4: Select the best antonym.
Considering the common usage of 'short' in terms of length and duration, 'long' is the most comprehensive and direct antonym. While 'tall' is an antonym for 'short' when referring to height, 'long' is a more universally applicable opposite.
(3) long Quick Tip: When choosing an antonym, consider the primary or most common meaning of the word. 'Long' is the most direct and broadly applicable opposite for 'short'.
