What to Focus On

  • Electric current produces a magnetic field.
  • Oersted observed this effect in 1820.
  • Around a straight wire, magnetic field lines are concentric circles.

  • Right hand thumb rule gives the magnetic field direction around a straight wire.
  • Magnetic field lines around a circular loop are nearly straight at the centre.
  • A solenoid produces a strong uniform field inside it.

  • Electromagnet is a temporary magnet made with soft iron.
  • Soft iron has low retentivity, so electromagnets demagnetise when current stops.
  • Bar electromagnet is mainly used in relay systems.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A current produces magnetic field only in a magnet, not around a straight wire.

The right hand thumb rule is used to find the direction of current.

A stronger magnetic field always means the same pattern, just brighter lines.

Memory Tips
