Class 8 Science Chapter 14 Solution and Explanation
Class 8 Science Chapter 14 Important Questions for Practice
Does pure water conduct electricity? If not, what can we do to make it conducting?
Pure or distilled water does not contain salts. Therefore it is a poor conductor of electricity. We can add impurities like salt, lemon juice, vinegar etc. to make it conducting.
In case of a fire, before the firemen use the water hoses, they shut off the main electrical supply for the area. Explain why they do this.
The water usually contain salts and is a good conductor of electricity. To save themselves and others from electric shock and to avoid any short circuit, firemen shut off the main electrical supply for the area.
When the free ends of a tester are dipped into a solution, the magnetic needle shows deflection. Can you explain the reason?
The deflection of magnetic needle indicates electric current is flowing through the wire. It means the liquid or the solution is a good conductor of electricity. When the free ends of a tester are dipped into a solution, electric circuit is completed and an electric current passes through the solution.
Is it safe for the electrician to carry out electrical repairs outdoors during heavy downpour? Explain.
No it is very risky and unsafe to carry out electric repairs outdoors during heavy downpour. Water (when impure) is a good conductor of electricity and there are chances of getting electric shock.
