Q:

Liquids and gases never show

A) diamagnetic property B) paramagnetic property
C) ferromagnetic property D) electromagnetic property
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) ferromagnetic property

Explanation:

On the basis of magnetic properties, substances are classified into three groups namely diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic.

As solids diffuse and reorder very slowly under ambient conditions, the net, directionally dependent (anisotropic) magnetic moment can persist. Conversely, liquids and gases freely tumble and reorder: water rearranges every few pico seconds (10^12 times per second).

Hence liquids and gases can never show ferromagnetic properties.

Q:

Which of the following describes an electric motor?

A) Is found in many appliances with moving parts, like a vacuum cleaner or a blender. B) Changes electric energy to mechanical energy.
C) Uses the interaction between a spinning coil of wire and magnet. D) Can be powered by a hand crank.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Changes electric energy to mechanical energy.

Explanation:

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

                                   Which_of_the_following_describes_an_electric_motor1596165769.jpg image

Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.
