प्रश्न
In the diagram XY is a straight conductor carrying current in the direction marked by the arrow. The conductor is held vertical by passing it through a horizontal cardboard sheet.

Draw three magnetic lines of force on the board and mark the direction of magnetic field in your diagram. State two factors on which magnitude of magnetic field at a point, depends.

उत्तर
The magnetic lines of force due to current in the straight conductor XY are shown in figure given alongside. The arrows on the magnetic lines of force shows the direction of magnetic field.

The magnitude of the magnetic field at a point depends on:
(i) The strength of the current in the conductor, and
(ii) The distance of a point from the conductor.

- Assertion: A compass needle is placed near a current-carrying wire. The deflection of the compass needle decreases when the magnitude of the current in the wire is increased.
- Reason: The strength of a magnetic field at a point near the conductor increases by increasing the current.
