A student was asked to perform an experiment to study the force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field. He took a small aluminum rod AB, a strong horse shoe magnet, some connecting wires, a battery and a switch and connected them as shown. He observed that on passing current, the rod gets displaced. On reversing the direction of current, the direction of displacement also gets reversed. On the basis of your understanding of this phenomenon, answer the following questions:(a) State the condition under which the displacement of the rod is largest for the same magnitude of current flowing through it. (b) State the rule that determines the direction of the force on the conductor AB.(c) (i) If the U shaped magnet is held vertically and the aluminum rod is suspended horizontally with its end B towards due north, then on passing current through the rod from B to A as shown. in which direction will the rod be displaced ?(ii) Name any two devices that use current carrying conductors and magnetic field. |

Answer» (a) When magnet will be perpendicular to the current carrying conductor then displacement of the rod will be maximum. (b) Fleming's left hand rule gives the direction of force experienced by current carrying conductor placed in an external magnetic field. Fleming's left hand rule the thumb, According, First finger and second finger are hold mutually perpendicular to each other. The thumb represent the direction of force on the conductor. (c) (i) The direction will the rod displaced towards west to east (ii) Electric Motor, Electric Generator. |
