Q.19. Write the importance of magnetism in medicine.
Ans :- An electric current always produces a magnetic field. Even weak ion currents that travel along the nerve cells in our body produce magnetic fields. When we touch something, our nerves carry an electric impulse to the muscles we need to use. This impulse produces a temporary magnetic field. These fields are very weak and are about one billion of the earth’s magnetic field. Two main organs in the human body where the magnetic field produced is significant are the heart and the brain.
The magnetic field inside the body forms the basis of obtaining the images of different body parts. This is done using a technique called Magnetic resonance Imaging. Analysis of these images helps in medical diagnosis. Magnetism has, thus, got important uses in medicine.
Q.20. What is galvanometer?
Ans :- A galvanometer is an instrument that can detect the presence of a current in a circuit. The pointer remains at zero for zero current flowing through it. It can deflect either to the left or the right of the zero mark depending on the direction of current.
