Question

Instead of a soft-iron core, if we wind a current carrying wire wound around a wooden pencil, would it still deflect a magnetic compass needle?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

because of the magnet of needle compass it still deflect to the pencil

Answer 2

• When a current-carrying wire is wound around the soft iron core, it makes an excellent electromagnetic.
• The soft iron core has high magnetic properties.
• The electromagnet would still deflect the magnetic compass.
• However, the deflection will still occur even without the soft iron core and in the presence of a wooden pencil.
• As the deflection in the magnetic compass is due to the magnetic field produced by the current-carrying wire.
• Magnetic field lines are produced in both cases, whether a soft iron core or a wooden pencil.
