EASY
Which of the following is an example of a magnetic dipole?
MEDIUM
What are the differences between the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet and a solenoid?
HARD
What is a solenoid? How will you find the polarity at the ends of solenoid, without using magnetic needle?
EASY

The adjacent diagram shows a small magnet placed near a solenoid AB with its north pole N near the end A. Current is switched on in the solenoid by pressing the key K. State the polarity at the ends A and B. Give a reason for your answer.

A solenoid of n turns carries current I while another solenoid of same length and of 2n turns carries current 3I. What is the ratio of magnetic field strengths of the two solenoids ?  
MEDIUM
The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying circular coil having n turns is equal to n times the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying circular coil having a single turn. Why?
EASY

The adjacent diagram shows a small magnet placed near a solenoid AB with its north pole N near the end A. Current is switched on in the solenoid by pressing the key K. Will the magnet be attracted or repelled ? Give a reason for your answer.
