Statement- 1 : When an electric fan is switched on in a closed room, the air of the room is cooled. Statement- 2 : When fan is switched on, the speed of the air molecules will increase.

Shalini is a student of class X. Her mother was preparing tea in an old electric kettle having metal case. When she switched on the electric kettle. she got a severe electric shock. Shalini put off the main switch qUickly and found that the connecting cord was torn, where her mother touched the metal case of the kettle. She also found that the red and black wires of the connecting cord were firmly connected to the two lower terminals of the power plug but the green wire of the cord was not connected to the upper terminal of the plug. Shalini replaced the torn connecting cord and also connected the three wires of the cord firmly to the power plug terminals. On the basis of the above passage, answer the following questions: Why did Shalini switch off the main switch qUickly?

The angular displacement (theta) of the blades of a ceiling fan, when the fan is switched on at t=0, is shown in figure. The average angular velocity of the fan blades during the first 8 seconds will be

A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from.
