By using a compass needle describe how can you demonstrate that there is a magnetic field around a current carrying conductor. Solution 1. Experiment: In Fig , AB is a wire lying in the north- south direction and connected to a battery through a rheostat and a tapping key. A compass needle is placed just below the wire. It is observed that When the key is open i.e., no current passes through the wire, the needle shows no deflection and it points in the N-S direction (i.e. along the earth’s magnetic field). In this position, the needle is parallel to the wire as shown in Fig. (a). When the key is pressed, a current passes in the wire in the direction from A to B (i.e. From south to north) and the north pole(N) of the needle deflects towards the west [Fig. (b)]. When the direction of current in the w...
