What to Focus On

  • A compass needle is a small bar magnet.
  • Magnetic field is the region where magnetic force can be detected.
  • Field lines emerge from north and merge at south outside a magnet.

  • Current-carrying wires produce magnetic fields.
  • Around a straight wire, field lines are concentric circles.
  • Reversing current reverses the field direction.

  • A circular current loop produces a magnetic field with nearly straight lines at the centre.
  • For n turns, the field is n times that of one turn.
  • A solenoid is a coil of many turns in cylindrical shape.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A current-carrying wire does not act like a magnet.

Magnetic field lines around a magnet go from north to south everywhere, including inside the magnet.

Magnetic field lines can intersect each other if the field is strong.
