Topics in Magnetic Effects of Electric Current
1
Magnetic Field and Field Lines
- 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
