    • Magnetized

    Correct Answer
    A. Magnetized
    Explanation
    When soft iron is brought near a permanent magnet, it becomes magnetized. This is because soft iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be easily magnetized. When it comes in contact with a permanent magnet, the domains within the soft iron align themselves with the magnetic field of the magnet, creating a magnetic field within the soft iron itself. This magnetization is temporary and will disappear once the soft iron is no longer in contact with the permanent magnet.

    What type of motor can operate on alternating current or direct current?

    • Shunt

    • Circuit

    • Universal

    • Compound

    Correct Answer
    A. Universal
    Explanation
    A universal motor can operate on both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). This type of motor is designed with a series field winding and a parallel field winding, allowing it to work with both types of current. The series field winding provides high starting torque, making it suitable for applications that require a lot of power at startup. The parallel field winding helps regulate the speed and provides good speed control. Universal motors are commonly used in household appliances like blenders and vacuum cleaners, where they need to be able to operate on both AC and DC power sources.
