Question

On reversing the direction of current in a wire the magnetic field produced by it:

  1. Reverses direction
  2. Increase in strength
  3. Decrease in strength
  4. Remains unchanged in strength and direction

hintHint:

On reversing the direction of current in a wire, the magnetic field produced by it reverses direction.

The correct answer is: Reverses direction


    On reversing the direction of current in a wire, the magnetic field produced by it reverses direction.
    • The direction of the magnetic field is dependent on the direction of the current.
    • The magnetic field is circular when the current-carrying conductor is passed straight.
    • When the current flow is reversed, the the polarity of the faces of the wire also reverses.direction of the electromagnetic field gets reversed.
