CBSE Class 10 Physics Magnetic Effects of Electric Current Important Questions and Answers: In this article we are covering the important questions and answers from chapter 12 Magnetic Effects of Electric Current for CBSE Class 10 Science board examination 2023. The answers can be accessed from the PDF towards the end of the article.
Chapter 12 Magnetic Effects of Electric Current is a part of Unit IV effects of Current under the theme How Things work. .
Candidates for the academic year 2022-23 must note that Magnetic Effects of Electric Current is actually the 12th Chapter according to the latest CBSE Class 10 Science syllabus 2022-23 and updated NCERT Textbook. However, according to the older curriculum, it appears as Chapter 13th in some resources that have not been updated. Thus, students should not be confused about the aforementioned.
In the previous chapter Electricity, we discussed the important questions and answers about this modern, controllable and convenient energy form. While chapter 11 was more about the healing effects of electric current, in chapter 12 Magnetic Effects of Electric Current, we study the magnetic effects of electric current, how it functions and how it helps our daily lives along with the important questions and answers that could be asked in the annual class 10th board examination 2023.
