When a current carrying wire is held parallel to and above a compass needle and the current flows from North to South, which direction the N-Pole of the compass needle will get deflected? |

Answer» . Why does a compass needle get deflected when brought near a BAR magnet? ANS. A compass needle is a small bar magnet with north and south pole. The compass needle deflects due to repulsion/attraction with the bar magnet. 2. Draw magnetic field lines around a bar magnet. Ans. 3. List the properties of magnetic lines of force. Ans. Properties of magnetic field lines of force: (i) Magnetic field lines travel from N-pole of magnet TOWARDS 5-pole, outside the magnet and from S-pole to N-pole inside the magnet. (ii) The strength of magnet/magnetic field is given by how close the field lines are if the field lines are CLOSER magnet is stronger. (iii) No two magnetic field lines ever intersect each other. |
