Section- E

V. Case Study based questions: (4x3=12m)


Q37.The heating effect of electric current is one of the most common phenomena
observed in daily life. When electric current passes through a conductor, it generates
heat due to the resistance offered by the conductor. This effect is utilized in various
electrical appliances like heaters, toasters, and electric bulbs. The amount of heat
produced depends on the material, length, and thickness of the conductor.

Qi) What is the heating effect of electric current?


Qii) How does the material of the wire affect the heating effect?
Qiii) Why do electric bulbs have a filament made of tungsten?
Qiv) What safety device is used to prevent overheating in electrical circuits?

Q38.Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in plants where new


plants are produced from the vegetative parts of the parent plant, such as roots,
stems, and leaves. This method of reproduction is advantageous because it allows
plants to reproduce quickly and produce offspring that are genetically identical to the
parent plant.

Qi What is vegetative propagation?


Qii Give an example of a plant that reproduces through vegetative
propagation.
Qiii What are the advantages of vegetative propagation?
Qiv How does Bryophyllum reproduce vegetatively?

Q39.Wastewater treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater


before it is released back into the environment or reused. The treatment process
involves physical, chemical, and biological methods to remove pollutants, making the
water safe for disposal or reuse. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to prevent
water pollution and protect public health.

Qi What is wastewater treatment?


Qii What are the main stages of wastewater treatment?
Qii Why is aeration important in wastewater treatment?
Qiii What happens to the sludge removed during wastewater treatment?
