Question
The figure given below shows the magnetic field around the conductor. Study it and answer the questions:
- What changes are caused by increasing current?
- What do you see when the magnetic needle is kept a little away from the wire?
- In the second part of the figure, the iron filings arrange themselves in a circular manner around the wire. Why does this happen?

Solution
- If the current through the wire is increased, the intensity of the magnetic field also increases.
- It starts deflecting less when the magnetic needle is kept away from the wire.
- The iron fillings get magnetised and arrange themselves in a circular manner around the wire.

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.
-
- If the U-shaped magnet is held vertically and the aluminium rod is suspended horizontally with its end B towards due north, then on passing current through the rod from B to A as shown, in which direction will the rod be displaced?
- Name any two devices that use current carrying conductors and magnetic fields.
