Card 1Introduction and Discovery

What is the magnetic effect of electric current? State the discovery and discoverer.

Answer

The magnetic effect of electric current is the phenomenon where a magnetic field is created around a current-carrying conductor. This magnetic field can exert force on magnetic materials like compass

Card 2Magnetic Field Direction

State the Right Hand Thumb Rule and explain its application.

Answer

Right Hand Thumb Rule: Imagine holding a current-carrying conductor with your right hand such that the thumb points in the direction of electric current. The fingers curled around the conductor will i

Card 3Magnetic Field Direction

What is Ampere's Swimming Rule?

Answer

Ampere's Swimming Rule: Imagine a person swimming in the direction of electric current and looking at a magnetic needle. The north pole of the magnetic needle will deflect towards the left side of the

Card 4Solenoid

Define solenoid and list the factors affecting its magnetic strength.

Answer

Solenoid: An insulated conductor wound in a helical (spiral) shape where the centers of all turns lie on the same straight line. Factors affecting magnetic strength: 1) Number of turns of conductor pe

Card 5Solenoid

How do you determine the polarity of a current-carrying solenoid?

Answer

Hold the solenoid with your right hand such that your four fingers curl in the direction of current flow through the coils. Your thumb will point towards the north pole of the solenoid. Alternatively:

Card 6Electromagnet

What is an electromagnet? How can you make a strong electromagnet?

Answer

Electromagnet: A device that creates a magnetic field using electric current. To make a strong electromagnet: 1) Use more turns of conductor per unit length, 2) Increase the current flowing through th

Card 7Electromagnet

Compare permanent magnets and electromagnets in terms of magnetism, polarity, and strength.

Answer

Permanent Magnet: Magnetism is permanent, polarity cannot be changed, magnetic strength is fixed. Electromagnet: Magnetism is temporary (only when current flows), polarity can be reversed by reversing

Card 8Fleming's Left Hand Rule

State Fleming's Left Hand Rule and its application.

Answer

Fleming's Left Hand Rule: Hold thumb, first finger, and second finger of left hand perpendicular to each other. First finger - direction of magnetic Field, seCond finger - direction of Current, thuMb
