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

Magnetic Field Due to Current-Carrying Conductors

  • Electric current produces magnetic field around the conductor
  • Direction of magnetic field changes when current direction is reversed
  • Magnetic field strength increases with increase in current
3

Force on Current-Carrying Conductor in Magnetic Field

  • Current-carrying conductor in magnetic field experiences a force
  • Force direction depends on current direction and magnetic field direction
  • Maximum force when current is perpendicular to magnetic field
4

Domestic Electric Circuits

  • Main supply provides 220V potential difference between live and neutral wires
  • Live wire (red insulation) carries current to appliances
  • Neutral wire (black insulation) completes the circuit
