A compass needle is placed near a current - carrying straight wire . Stateyour observation for thefollowingcase and givereason for the samein each case : (1) Direction of electriccurrent in the wireis increased . (2) Magnitudeof electriccurrentin the wireis increased . (3) Teh compass needleis displaced away from the straight wire . |

Answer» Solution :(1) Deflectionof thecompass needlechanges. BECAUSETHE DIRECTIONOF the magnetic fielddue toa currentis dependent on thedirectionof thecurrentand hence the deflection of the compass needle change . (2) Deflection of the compass needleat a givepoint increase . (3) Deflection of the compass needlefor a GIVEN currentdecreases. Because magnetic fieldstrenghtis inverselyproportional to thedistancefrom the WIRE . |
