The direction of current flowing is from the front wall towards the back wall as it is in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons. If the direction of force applied is towards the right side, then using Fleming’s left-hand rule, the magnetic field is applied in a downward direction.

Imagine that you are sitting in a chamber with your back to one wall. An electron beam, moving horizontally from the back wall towards the front wall, is deflected by a strong magnetic field to your right side. What is the direction of the magnetic field?

What is the function of an earth wire? Why is it necessary to earth metallic appliances?

When does an electric short circuit occur?

State the rules for finding the direction, when :(a) A magnetic field produced around a straight conductor carrying current,(b) The force experienced by a current carrying a straight conductor placed in a magnetic field placed perpendicular to it.(c) current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field.

When is the force experienced by a current–carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field largest?

List two methods of producing magnetic fields

State whether the following statements are true or false : (a) The field at the center of a long circular coil carrying current will be parallel straight lines. (b) A wire with green insulation is usually the live wire of an electric supply

At the time of the short circuit, the current in circuit : (a) reduces substantially (b) does not change (c) increases heavily (d) vary continuously

Which of the following correctly describes the magnetic field near a long straight wire? (a) The field consists of straight lines perpendicular to the wire. (b) The field consists of straight lines parallel to the wire. (c) The field consists of radial lines originating from the wire. (d) The field consists of concentric circles centred on the wire.
