Subjective Questions – Magnetic Effects of Electric Current

1. Explain with the help of a diagram how the magnetic field is produced around a straight
current-carrying conductor. What is the shape and direction of the magnetic field lines?
2. State Maxwell’s right-hand thumb rule. How is this rule used to determine the direction
of the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor?
3. Differentiate between Fleming’s Left Hand Rule and Fleming’s Right Hand Rule. State
the applications of each rule.
4. What is meant by the "swimming rule" and "snow rule" in the context of the direction of
magnetic field and current? Give an example where these are applicable.
5. Describe the construction and working of a simple DC motor. Explain the role of the split
ring in the motor.
6. What factors affect the strength of the magnetic field produced by a straight current-
carrying conductor? How can the field strength be increased?
7. A student places a compass near a straight vertical wire and notices the deflection in the
needle when current flows through the wire. Explain this observation using Maxwell’s
right-hand thumb rule.
8. With a labeled diagram, explain how the direction of force acting on a current-carrying
conductor in a magnetic field is determined using Fleming’s Left Hand Rule.
9. Explain why the current in a DC motor changes direction in the coil after every half
rotation. What would happen if the direction of current did not change?
10. Write short notes on the following:

 a) Magnetic field due to a current-carrying conductor


 b) Role of armature in a DC motor
 c) Differences between electromagnet and permanent magnet
