Question 2 - Past Year - 3 Mark Questions - Chapter 13 Class 10 - Magnetic Effects of Electric Current

Last updated at Dec. 13, 2024 by

Can a freely suspended current carrying solenoid stay in any direction? Justify your answer. What will happen when the direction of current in the solenoid is reversed? Explain.

 

Answer:

A current carrying solenoid behaves like a magnet.

So, when it is suspended freely it will align itself in the north-south direction.

On reversing the current through the solenoid, the north and south poles will get exchanged and the solenoid will turn 180 ° .
