Magnetic Effect of Electric Current
Oersted Experiment:
Electromagnets
A magnet consisting of a soft iron core with a coil of insulated wire wound around it is called electromagnet.
Uses of
Magnets
Magnetic Field Due to Straight Conductor
• Solenoid:
• Whenever a current is not flowing through the wire, it remains straight (position A).
• When the current flows from top to bottom, the wire bends and comes into position C.
• If the current direction is reversed, i.e. it flows from the bottom to the top end, the wire
bends but comes in the position B.
• This means the direction of the force on the wire is perpendicular to both the magnetic
field and the direction of the current.
Force on a Current Carrying Conductor in Magnetic Field
Whenever the number of magnetic lines of force passing through the coil changes, current is induced in the coil.
This is known as Faraday’s law of induction. The current produced in the coil is called the induced current
