A coil carrying a heavy current and having large number of turns is mounted in a N - S vertical plane. A current flows in the clockwise direction. A small magnetic needle at its centre will have its north pole is

A tangent Galvanometer is connected directly to an ideal battery. If the number of turns in the coil is doubled, the deflection will

Two tangent galvanometers and have coils of radii and , respectively, and resistance each. They are connected in parallel with a cell of emf and negligible internal resistance. The deflections produced in the tangent galvanometers and are and , respectively. If has turns, then must have

A compass needle free to turn in a horizontal plane is placed at the centre of a circular coil of turns and radius . The coil is in a vertical plane making an angle of with the magnetic meridian. When the current in the coil is , the needle points west to east.
The current in the coil is reversed and the coil is rotated about its vertical axis by an angle of in the anticlockwise sense looking from above. Predict the direction of the needle. Take the magnetic declination at the places to be zero.
