Overview

This chapter explores the fascinating relationship between electricity and magnetism, building on our understanding of electric current from previous chapters. We discover how electric current can produce magnetic fields and how these magnetic fields can exert forces on other current-carrying conduc

Key Concepts

A magnetic field is the region

A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where its force can be detected. Magnetic field lines are imaginary lines that represent the direction

When electric current flows through

When electric current flows through a straight wire, it produces concentric circular magnetic field lines around the wire. The direction can be found

A circular loop carrying current produces

A circular loop carrying current produces magnetic field lines that are straight at the center. A solenoid (multiple circular turns) produces a magnet

An electromagnet is made by placing

An electromagnet is made by placing a soft iron core inside a current-carrying solenoid. It becomes magnetic only when current flows through the coil

A current

A current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force. The direction of this force is given by Fleming's left-hand rule: first f
