State the observation made by Oersted on the basis of his experiment with current-carrying conductors. CBSE Class X Science VSA (1 Mark)

Answer»

tion:The experiment of Oersted showed that there is a connection between electricity and magnetism. He noted that a magnetic field is produced by a present carrying wire. If you hold a compass needle next to a present carrying wire, the deflection would appear.He OBSERVED that a conductor carrying a CURRENT can deflect a magnetic compass which is placed nearby. On this basis it was concluded that the current carrying creates a magnetic field. On the INSERTION of a soft iron in a current carrying SOLENOID, the magnetic field because of the solenoid INCREASES.
