Question

When we move magnetic compass from point P to Q then which of the following statement is true?

विकल्प

• The deflection of the magnetic needle at P and Q will be in the same direction.

• The deflection of the magnetic needle at P and Q will be in the opposite directions.

• The deflection of the magnetic needle at P and Q will be perpendicular to each other.

• The deflection of the magnetic needle at P and Q will be inclined at 45° with respect to each other.

Answer 1

The deflection of the magnetic needle at P and Q will be in the opposite directions.

Explanation:

The solenoid produces a magnetic field along its axis, and both points P and Q lie along this same field direction. Therefore, the compass needle at P and Q experiences the magnetic field in the same direction, so the deflection is the same.
