प्रश्न
The direction of current flowing in the coil of an electromagnet at its two ends X and Y are as shown below:
What is the polarity of end X?
What is the polarity of end Y?
Name and state the rule which you have used to determine the polarities.

उत्तर
The polarity of end X is south because current is flowing in clockwise direction at this end.
The polarity of end Y is north because current is flowing in anticlockwise direction at this end.
We have used clock face rule to determine the polarities.

As shown in the diagram an aluminium rod 'AB' is suspended horizontally between the two poles of a strong horse shoe magnet in such a way that the axis of rod is horizontal and the direction of the magnetic field is vertically upward. The rod is connected in series with a battery and a key.

State giving reason:
- What is observed when a current is passed through the aluminium rod from end B to end A?
- What change is observed in a situation in which the axis of the rod 'AB' is moved and aligned parallel to the magnetic field and current is passed in the rod in the same direction?
