Question
Will the compass needle show deflection when the switch in the circuit shown by figure is closed?
Advertisements
Solution
- No, because there is no source of electric current in this circuit, i.e., there is no battery.
- In the absence of current, the wire does not behave as a magnet, and hence, the compass needle will not show any deflection.
