ACTIVITY 8

MAGNETIC FIELD AROUND


CURRENT-CARRYING
CONDUCTORS
2

OBJECTIVES
• Using a compass, explore the magnetic field around
current-carrying conductors
• Use the compass to determine the direction of the
magnetic field relative to the direction of current through:
• A)straight current- carrying conductors; and
• B) a current-carrying coil.
Magnetic Field
Magnetic field, a vector field in the
neighborhood of a magnet, electric
current, or changing electric field, in
which magnetic forces are observable.

3
Magnetic Forces
Magnetic force, attraction or repulsion that
arises between electrically charged particles
because of their motion. It is the basic
force responsible for such effects as the
action of electric motors and the attraction
of magnets for iron.
4
Magnetic forms
• Diamagnetism
• Paramagnetism
• Ferromagnetism
• Antiferromagnetism
• Ferrimagnetism

Q27. FROM A TOP-VIEW PERSPECTIVE, IN WHAT
DIRECTION DOES THE NORTH POLE OF THE COMPASS
NEEDLE POINT TO WHEN THE COMPASS WAS
POSITIONED AROUND THE VERTICAL CURRENT-
CARRYING STRAIGHT CONDUCTOR?

With the circuit close, conventional current is sent up the


straight conductor causing a clockwise rotation of the compass
needle about the wire.

Q28. FROM A TOP-VIEW PERSPECTIVE AND WITH THE
CURRENT’S POLARITY REVERSED, IN WHAT DIRECTION
DOES THE NORTH POLE OF THE COMPASS NEEDLE POINT
TO WHEN THE COMPASS WAS POSITIONED AROUND THE
VERTICAL CURRENT-CARRYING CONDUCTOR?

With the circuit close, conventional current is sent up the


straight conductor causing a counterclockwise rotation of the
compass needle about the wire.

Q30. FROM A TOP-VIEW PERSPECTIVE, IN WHAT DIRECTION DOES
THE NORTH POLE OF THE COMPASS NEEDLE, AT THE CENTER OF
THE CURRENT-C ARRYING COIL OF WIRE, POINT WHEN THE
CURRENT’S POLARITY WAS REVERSED?

With current flowing in reverse, the compass needle now points


north.

16
Q31. HOW WILL YOU COMPARE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE
COMPASS NEEDLE DEFLECTIONS FOR THE DIFFERENT NUMBER
OF LOOPS IN THE CURRENT-CARRYING COIL?

A decrease in the number of loops in the coil, means a shorter


wire and a weaker magnetic field, causing less noticeable,
compass needle deflections.

17
Q32. IF YOU STRAIGHTEN THE SHORTENED COIL OF WIRE,
HOW WILL YOU COMPARE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE
COMPASS NEEDLE DEFLECTION, AT THE CENTER -CARRYING
STRAIGHT CONDUCTORS? WHY?

The magnetic field increases in direct proportion to the number of tums/loops in a coil.
Thus, the compass needle, at the center of the wire , deflects more than the compass
needle about a straight wire.
Extending Inquiry – A solenoid ( a coil of wire in which the length is greater than the
width) was made using a 3-meter long magnetic wire wound clockwise from left of right
around the iron rod. Current was then made to flow through it using a circuit similar to
what is shown to Figure 11a.

18
Q33. WHAT WOULD BE THE DIRECTION OF THE MAGNETIC
FIELD AROUND CURRENT-SOLENOID WHEN THE SWITCH IS
CLOSED?

With the current flowing counterclockwise from the


positive end to the negative end, the magnetic field
around the current-carrying coil enters the positive end
of the coil and leaves the negative end.

19
Q34. USING, DRA2W THE MAGNETIC COMPASS NEEDLE
DIRECTIONS AT THE INDICATED LOCATIONS IN FIGURE
11B. THEN INDICATE WHICH ENDS OF THE SOLENOID
ACTS SIMILAR TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH POLES OF A
BAR MAGNET.

The positive end of the current-carrying coil acts similar to


south pole of the bar magnet while the negative end acts
similar to pole.
