How does the magnetic field around a wire change when the wire is made into a coil?
The small magnetic fields caused by the current in each coil add together to make a stronger overall magnetic field. Outside the solenoid, the small magnetic fields from each wire cancel each other out and the outside field is much weaker.
How does magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire change with the distance from the wire?
(ii) Magnitude of magnetic field at a point in a current carrying coil is inversely proportional to the distance. Hence, with increase in distance the magnetic field will decrease.
What happens when a wire with a current is placed in a magnetic field?
If a coil of wire is placed in a changing magnetic field, a current will be induced in the wire. This current flows because something is producing an electric field that forces the charges around the wire. (It cannot be the magnetic force since the charges are not initially moving).
How does magnetic field depends on current?
The magnitude of magnetic field at a point due to a straight current carrying wire depends upon: The current passing through the wire – directly proportional, greater the current in wire , stronger will be the magnetic field produced.
What generates the magnetic field of a current carrying wire?
Earth’s magnetic field is generated by a feedback loop in the liquid outer core: Current loops generate magnetic fields; a changing magnetic field generates an electric field; and the electric and magnetic fields exert a force on the charges that are flowing in currents (the Lorentz force).
What generates the magnetic field in a current carrying wire?
How is magnetic field produced by current?
As Ampere suggested, a magnetic field is produced whenever an electrical charge is in motion. The spinning and orbiting of the nucleus of an atom produces a magnetic field as does electrical current flowing through a wire. The direction of the spin and orbit determine the direction of the magnetic field.
How is a current carrying wire placed in a magnetic field so that magnetic field does not act on it?
A current carrying wire is placed (A) Parallel to magnetic field so that magnetic field does not act on it. Explanation: When the current carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field, then the wire is subjected to magnetic force.
What are the factors on which the magnetic field of a current carrying circular wire depends upon?
The magnitude of magnetic field produced by a current carrying circular loop depends upon: The current passing through the circular loop-directly proportional. The radius of circular loop-inversely proportional. Number of turns of the wire in the circular loop-directly proportional.
How can the magnetic field produced around a current carrying conductor be detected?
The magnetic field produced around a current carrying conductor be detected using a magnetic compass. If you place a magnetic compass near the apparatus that you have set, the needle ‘will’ deflect. The deflection of the needle is caused by the magnetic field around the current carrying conductor.
What are various ways to change the magnetic field around a wire?
There are three ways to change the magnetic flux through a loop:
- Change the magnetic field strength (increase, decrease) over the surface area.
- Change the area of the loop (increase by expanding the loop, decrease by shrinking the loop)
What is the magnetic field formed around a coil of wire?
The magnetic field formed around a straight conductor with the current flowing in the direction of the red arrow. The magnetic field around a loop of wire with an electric current flowing through it in the direction of the blue arrow. the magnetic field around a coil of conducting wire with a DC current flowing through it.
What is the relationship between magnetism and electric current?
Electricity and magnetism are very closely linked in that all closed loop currents create their own magnetic fields, and magnetic fields acting upon closed loop circuits can produce current or even change current direction. How does a magnetic field affect a current-carrying wire?
How does an electro-magnet work?
The magnetic field around a loop of wire with an electric current flowing through it in the direction of the blue arrow. the magnetic field around a coil of conducting wire with a DC current flowing through it. The arrows point towards the north pole created by the electro-magnet.
What is the direction of magnetic field in a screw?
The direction of rotation of the screw is the direction of the magnetic field as shown in Figure (b). Figure shows the magnetic field due to a straight wire seen from various angles. If two straight wires are placed side by side, the magnetic fields produced by the currents in them will combine to form a resultant field.
