Electricity and magnetism are linked to each other.
Why does a current carrying solenoid when suspended freely rest along a north-south direction?

MEDIUM

EASY
A power transmission line feeds input power at 2300 V to a step down transformer with its primary windings having 4000 turns. The output power is delivered at 230 V by the transformer. If the current in the primary of the transformer is 5 A and its efficiency is 90 %, the output current would be:

The diagram below shows a magnetic needle kept just below the conductor AB which is kept in the North-South direction.

Question Image

i) In which direction will the needle deflect when the key is closed?

ii) Why is the deflection produced?

iii) What will be the change in the deflection if the magnetic needle is taken just above the conductor AB?

iv) Name one device which works on this principle.

HARD
Draw the pattern of magnetic field lines produced around a current carrying straight conductor passing perpendicularly through a horizontal cardboard. State and apply right-hand thumb rule to mark the direction of the field lines. How will the strength of the magnetic field change when the point where magnetic field is to be determined is moved away from the straight conductor? Give reason to justify your answer.
