Magnetic field lines represent direction of force on an isolated north pole. They emerge from north and enter south. They never cross. Tangent gives field direction. Compass aligns along these lines.
Explanation:
Isaac Newton formulated the universal law of gravitation in his Principia Mathematica (1687), stating F = Gm₁m₂/r². Galileo studied falling bodies; Kepler derived planetary motion laws; Einstein developed general relativity (gravity as spacetime curvature). Memory aid: 'Newton = gravity apple story'. This history-based question tests knowledge of key scientific contributions, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always associate scientists with their specific discoveries to avoid confusion between classical and modern physics pioneers.
Explanation:
Electric generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy using electromagnetic induction: rotating a coil in magnetic field (or vice versa) induces EMF due to changing magnetic flux. This is Faraday's law application. Motors use the reverse principle (force on current-carrying conductor in field). Memory tip: 'Generator: motion ⇒ electricity (induction); Motor: electricity ⇒ motion (force)'. This application question tests understanding of device principles, common in competitive exams. Always distinguish generator (induction) from motor (Lorentz force) operation.
