Question 13 Marks
i. A straight cylindrical conductor is suspended with its axis perpendicular to the magnetic field of a horse-shoe magnet. The conductor gets displaced towards left when a current is passed through it. What will happen to the displacement of the conductor if the
1. current through it is increased?
2. horse-shoe magnet is replaced by another stronger horse-shoe magnet?
3. direction of current through it is reversed?
ii. Name and state the rule for determining the direction of force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field
Answer
i. 1. The force acting on a current-carrying conductor placed perpendicular to a magnetic field increases with the increase in the current flowing through a conductor.
2. When a horseshoe magnet is replaced by a stronger magnet, then the magnetic field increases. Thus, the force acting on the conductor increases.
3. If the length of the conductor increases then the force acting on the conductor also increases.
ii. Fleming's left hand rule: Stretch the forefinger, middle finger and the thumb of your left hand mutually perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger indicates the direction of magnetic field and the middle finger indicates the direction of current, then the thumb will indicate the direction of motion of conductor.

Question 33 Marks
What is a Solenoid? Draw the pattern of the magnetic field lines around a current carrying solenoid. Mark on the pattern the region where the magnetic field is uniform.
Answer
A coil of insulated copper wire wound in the form of a cylinder is a solenoid. When current is passed through a solenoid, it produces magnetic field lines like a bar magnet. The pattern of magnetic field lines of a solenoid is shown in the figure. Inside the solenoid, field lines are parallel to each other This indicates that the magnetic field is uniform .
