Assertion: On freely suspending a current – carrying solenoid, it comes to rest in Geographical N-S direction.
Reason: One end of current carrying straight solenoid behaves as a North pole and the other end as a South pole, just like a bar magnet.
A compass needle is placed near a current carrying wire. State your observations for the following cases and give reasons for the same in each case -
- Magnitude of electric current in wire is increased.
- The compass needle is displaced away from the wire.
- 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.
