Question

Give an experiment to show magnetic effect of current.

Answer 1

MAGNETIC EFFECT OF CURRENT

Explanation:

• The magnetic effect of electric current was discovered by H.C. Oersted in 1820. He observed that flow of electric current through a conductor produce a magnetic field around it. The magnetic effect of current can be demonstrated by doing following experiment.

• Oersted Experiment to Demonstrate the Magnetic Effect of Electric Current

•       First of all make a simple electric circuit by joining a long straight wire with a battery and a plug. Now, take a magnetic compass needle and place the straight wire parallel and over the compass needle. Then switch on the circuit so that current flows through the wire from south to north directions. Now, you will found that the north pole of compass needle gets deflected towards the west.

•       But, if the direction of current in the wire is reversed then the north pole of the compass needle gets deflected towards the east.

•       The direction of deflection of magnetic needle can be easily determined by SNOW rule. According to SNOW rule, when current flows through a conductor from South to North direction and the wire is held over magnetic needle then the north pole of the magnetic needle deflects towards west.

Answer 2

Answer:

current is due to the flow of elecrons and elecrons have a charge that experiend the magnetic field .
