What are the differences between the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet and a solenoid?
Important Questions on Electromagnetism
Kunal draws magnetic field lines close to the axis of a current carrying circular loop. As he moves away, towards the centre of the circular loop, he observes that the lines keep on diverging. How will you explain his observation?

Describe the magnetic field produced by a solenoid carrying current.

Electricity and magnetism are linked to each other.
Why does a current carrying solenoid when suspended freely rest along a north-south direction?

The diagram shows a current carrying wire passing through the centre of a square card board. The magnetic field at points , and is:

What is a solenoid? Can you determine the North and South poles of a current-carrying solenoid with the help of a bar magnet? Explain.





Observe the given figure of Fleming' s Right Hand Rule and write the labels of A and B correctly.



The diagram below shows a magnetic needle kept just below the conductor AB which is kept in the North-South direction.
i) In which direction will the needle deflect when the key is closed?
ii) Why is the deflection produced?
iii) What will be the change in the deflection if the magnetic needle is taken just above the conductor AB?
iv) Name one device which works on this principle.






The following diagram shows a spiral coil wound on a hollow cardboard tube AB. A magnetic compass is placed close to it. Current it switched on by closing the key. (a) What will be the polarity at the ends A and B?
(b) How will the compass needle be affected? Give reason.
