Topics in Magnetic Effects of Electric Current

1

Magnetic Fields and Field Lines

  • A compass needle is a small bar magnet with north-seeking (north pole) and south-seeking (south pole) ends
  • Like poles repel each other, unlike poles attract each other
  • Magnetic field is the region around a magnet where its force can be detected
2

Magnetic Field due to Current-Carrying Conductors

  • Electric current through a conductor produces magnetic field around it
  • Direction of magnetic field depends on direction of current
  • Strength of magnetic field increases with increase in current
3

Electromagnetic Induction and Solenoids

  • Solenoid carrying current behaves like a bar magnet
  • One end of solenoid acts as north pole, other as south pole
  • Magnetic field inside solenoid is uniform and parallel
4

Force on Current-Carrying Conductor in Magnetic Field

  • Current-carrying conductor experiences force when placed in magnetic field
  • Direction of force depends on direction of current and magnetic field
  • Force is maximum when current and magnetic field are perpendicular
