When the current is switched on through a wire, a compass needle kept nearby gets deflected from its north-south position. Explain.

उत्तर

  • When current flows through the wire, it deflects the compass near it from its north-south orientation, much like a magnet. This is known as the magnetic effect of the current.
  • We know that the compass needle is constructed of a thin magnet. When this needle touches another magnet, the similar poles repel each other while the opposing poles attract each other.
  • So the deflection is visible in the needle. In this situation, the wire acts as a magnet, causing deflection in the needle of the compass.

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:

  1. What is observed when a current is passed through the aluminium rod from end B to end A?
  2. 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?
