Question
Observe the following diagram and choose the correct alternative:
Options
The intensity of magnetic field in A is larger than in B.
The intensity of magnetic field in B is less than in A.
The intensity of magnetic field A and B is same.
The intensity of magnetic field in A is less than in B.

Solution
The intensity of magnetic field in A is less than in B.
Explanation:
Magnetic field produced due to closed loop
`vec"B" ⇒ vec"B" ∝ "I"`
In diagram (A), I = `5/("R"_1 + "R"_2)`
In diagram (B), I = `5/((("R"_1 "R"_2))/("R"_1 + "R"_2))`
IB > IA so `vec"B"_"B" > vec"B"_"A"`
∴ The intensity of magnetic field in A is less than in B.

A student was asked to perform an experiment to study the force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field. He took a small aluminium rod AB, a strong horse shoe magnet, some connecting wires, a battery and a switch and connected them as shown. He observed that on passing current, the rod gets displaced. On reversing the direction of current, the direction of displacement also gets reversed. On the basis of your understanding of this phenomenon, answer the following questions:
- Why does the rod get displaced on passing current through it?
- State the rule that determines the direction of the force on the conductor AB.
-
