Question

state the observation made by oersted on the basis of his experiment with the current carrying conductor.

Answer 1

Oersted found out that for a straight wire carrying Dc current or steady current

1) The magnetic field line surrounds the current carrying wire.

2) The magnetic field line exist in the plane perpendicular to the wire.

3) If the direction of the current is reversed, the direction of the magnetic force reverses.

4) The strength of the field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the current.

5)The strength of the field at any point is inversely proportional to the distance of the point from the wire.
