  • Q1 · Magnetic Effects of Current · EASY

    A current-carrying straight conductor produces a magnetic field around it. According to Oersted's experiment, if the direction of current in the conductor is reversed, what happens to the direction of the magnetic field lines around it?

  • Q2 · Magnetic Effects of Current · MEDIUM

    A solenoid of 500 turns carries a current of 2 A. If the length of the solenoid is 0.5 m, what is the approximate magnetic field at the center of the solenoid? (Take permeability of free space = 4π × 10^-7 T·m/A)

  • Q3 · Magnetic Effects of Current · HARD

    A coil of 100 turns with area 0.02 m² is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field. The magnetic field changes uniformly from 0.5 T to 0.1 T in 0.2 seconds. What is the magnitude of the induced EMF in the coil according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction?

  • Q4 · Magnetic Effects of Current · MEDIUM

    A current-carrying straight conductor is placed in a uniform magnetic field such that the current flows perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. If the current through the conductor is 3 A and the magnetic field strength is 0.4 T, what is the magnitude of the force per unit length acting on the conductor?

  • Q5 · Magnetic Effects of Current · HARD

    Fleming's left-hand rule is used to determine the direction of which of the following?
