Worked practice questions

The magnetic field around a STRAIGHT current-carrying conductor:

  1. Forms concentric circles around the wire
  2. Forms straight lines along the wire's length
  3. Is uniform and equal everywhere in space
  4. Points away from the wire in a fixed direction
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Forms concentric circles around the wire

A straight current-carrying conductor produces CIRCULAR magnetic field lines in planes perpendicular to the wire. The strength is proportional to current and inversely proportional to distance from the wire.

The RIGHT-HAND THUMB RULE is used to find:

  1. The angle of refraction when light enters glass
  2. The voltage needed to drive a current in a wire
  3. The direction of magnetic field around a current-carrying wire
  4. The force experienced by a charged particle in a field
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. The direction of magnetic field around a current-carrying wire

The Right-Hand Thumb Rule: hold the conductor in your right hand with thumb pointing in current direction your curling fingers give the direction of magnetic field lines around the wire.

A SOLENOID is best described as a:

  1. Single straight current-carrying conductor
  2. Single circular current-carrying loop
  3. Compass needle inside a glass case
  4. Long coil of many insulated wire turns
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Long coil of many insulated wire turns

A solenoid is a long coil of many insulated turns of wire. When current flows, the magnetic field inside is uniform the field outside resembles a bar magnet. Inserting a soft iron core makes it an electromagnet.
