  4. D.Sulphates
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Hydrogencarbonates

Temporary hardness comes from dissolved calcium and magnesium hydrogencarbonates (bicarbonates), and it can be removed simply by boiling.

The magnetic field strength of a current-carrying wire at a particular distance from the axis of the wire

  2. B.depends upon the radius of the wire
  3. C.depends upon the temperature of the surroundings
  4. D.None of the above
Show answer
Correct answer: A. depends upon the current in the wire

Outside a long straight wire the field is B = μ₀I/(2πr), so at a fixed distance r it is directly proportional to the current I. Hans Christian Oersted found in 1820 that a current deflects a compass needle, showing that a current produces a magnetic field.
