how can you make a tester working on magnetic effects of electric current.explain
Answers
Explanation:
The magnetic effect of electric current is known as electromagnetic effect. It is observed that when a compass is brought near a current carrying conductor the needle of compass gets deflected because of flow of electricity. This shows that electric current produces a magnetic effect.
Answer:
By using a simple compass, wires, battery or cells.
Explanation:
Magnetic effect of current is another property of electric current. When there is a compass nearby a complete electric circuit passing electric current through it, the needle of the compass start defecting along the flow of electric current(this is the magnetic effect of current).
Step by Step:
Aim- To show the magnetic effect of electric current.
Materials Required- A compass, long piece of metal(copper for example) wire and cell or a battery(a battery is nothing but a combination of two or more cells).
Precautions- Do not use electric sockets or high voltage battery for this activity.
Procedure:-
- Connect the free ends of the wires to negative and positive terminals of the battery.
- Wrap the piece of metal(copper) wire around the compass.
- Let the electric Current flow through this circuit if not yet done.
Observation- We saw that when electric current was passed along the compass the needle of the compass start defecting along the way of electric current.
Conclusion- By this activity of making the tester using the principle of magnetic effect of electric current we conclude that a compass needle always gets defected when electricity is passed near or along it.
