L-1 ANS IN DETAIL
1. Why does a bar magnet suspended to rotate freely come to rest in the northsouth direction ?
a. 1)Earth behaves like a magnet. 2The magnetic south pole of the Earth is
near its geographical north pole and the magnetic north pole is near its south
pole. 3 The unlike pole attracts each other so the magnetic south pole of the
earth attracts the north pole of the freely suspended magnet. 4 as a reason
north pole of the magnet becomes steady towards the geographical south
pole that is in the north direction of the earth.
2. Explain magnetic field lines of a magnet by drawing fig
A. 1Place a white paper on drawing board. Then place the bar magnet on the
paper. Spread iron dust on the paper. 2 Gently tap the paper and observe the
iron dust. 3 As shown in fig the iron dust will get arranged in definite pattern
around the magnet. This definite pattern is known as magnetic field lines.
3. What is the difference in domain of iron and that of magnet?
A In iron domain are oriented at random while in a magnet the domains are
arranged systematically in the same direction.
4. How does the magnetism of a magnet get destroyed?
A. The... by heating a magnet. By striking a magnet. By falling frequently. By
keeping like poles near each other for long time
5. State six household items in which magnet is used.

Ex5 GIVE REASONS
1. A magnetic needle is used in magnetic compass because 1 a magnetic compass
is used to find direction 2 magnetic needle is free to rotate in a horizontal
plane ,comes to rest in North and South direction. So magnetic needle helps
magnetic compass to find direction.
2. By rubbing a magnet on an iron needle for some time, the needle becomes a
magnet because 1 innumerable magnetic domains are arranged at random in
iron needle. This domains nullify magnetism of one another. 2 When a magnet is
rubbed on an iron needle for sometime all the domains align themselves in one
direction due to the magnetic field of the magnet. So the needle becomes a
magnet.

3. Green leafy vegetables should be taken in diet because 1 They provide
necessary mineral substance and vitamin in adequate proportion to the body. 2
More over the fibre they contain helps in proer digestion of food as well as in the
advancement of food in the digestive track.
4. Small children should be given protein-rich diet because 1 Their body grow
rapidly 2] New tissue are formed during growth for which proteins are necessary.
3 More over regulation of biochemical process occur in the body of children and
for protection obtained against infection diseases proteins are essential.
5. Children should be allowed to play in the mild sunshine because 1 vitamin D is
very essential for the growth and strength of the bones in the body of children.
2 These vitamin is synthesized in the body during the mild sunshine of the
morning and evening. 3 Vitamin D is synthesized beneath the skin when sunrays
fall on the skin. 4 Deficiency of vitamin D in children can cause Rickets.
6. Milk is considered a complete diet because milk contains the constituents of
food except vitamin C that is Carbohydrates, Proteins and Minerals and Vitamins
A, B, D.
L-3
7. The leaf is called the kitchenof the plant because green leaves prepared food
for the plant with the help of chloroplast, carbondioxide and water in the
presence of sunlight.

8. Though amorphophallus grows in the soil, it is a stem because it has nodes ,

internodes and thin scaley leaves on it. It grows underground. So, it is called
underground stem.
9. The leaves of opuntia are modifies into spinesbecause opuntia plant grows in
desert where there is scarcity of water. So it reduces the loss of water by
transpiration, leaves of opuntia are modified into spines.
10.
One feels cool under the dense tree during midday because 1 trees
gives us shade. 2 The stomata present on the leaves gives out extra
watervapour by process of transpiration. As a result surrounding remains Cool.
