Question
State and explain the New Cartesian Sign Convention for spherical lenses.
✓
Answer
New Cartesian Sign Convention for spherical lenses:
- All the distances are measured from the optical centre of the lens.
- The distances measured in the same direction as that of incident light are taken as positive.
- The distances measured against the direction of incident light are taken as negative.
- The distances measured upward and perpendicular to the principal axis are taken as positive.
- The distances measured downward and perpendicular to the principal axis are taken as negative.

Take three ring shaped magnets, insulated copper wire (1.5m) battery and paper clips. Cut the wire into three pieces. One piece should be about 1m long and the other two 0.25m long each. Take 1m piece of wire and wrap this wire around two fingers to form a coil. Take the loose end of this wire and wrap it once along the diameter of the coil. The two arms of the coil should be directly opposite each other. Bend the paper clip and prepare a holder for the coil. Pile the three magnets on the table. Place the coil above the magnet on the paper clip holder. Take free ends of the wire and connect them to the battery as shown in the figure 5.17. Give a single spin to the coil
(i) What do you observe?
(ii) What makes the coil rotate on passing the current?
