          Magnetic effects of electric currents

 

 

 

Why does a compass needle gets deflected when brought near a current carrying conductor?

A compass needle gets deflected when brought near a current carrying conductor because an electric current carrying wire produce magnetic field around it.

We can illustrate this with the such example

We take a straight copper wire and place this copper wire between the points (X and Y). in the electric circuit.

The wire is kept perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Also a compass is kept near horizontally to the copper wire.

And when circuit is completed , then current is passed through this circuit. And found that compass needle gets deflected. It means to say that there is magnetic field produced when electric current is passing through the copper wire.

Why does a compass needle gets deflected when brought near a magnetic bar ?

 

Bar magnet:--

 

Bar magnet is small bar magnet , which is rectangular piece of a object and having s compass needle.

It has permanent magnetic properties.  It has two poles.

(1) North pole

(2) South pole

North pole :--

The ends of the compass needle pointing towards the north direction is called north pole.

South pole:--

The ends of the compass needle pointing towards the south direction is called south pole.

 

Magnetic field:--

The magnetic field is a field generated electric charge or magnet in the motion.

A magnetic field is a region surrounding a magnet , in which the force of the magnet can be deflected.

The magnetic field can be represented by the magnetic field lines.

 

 

 

 

why magnetic fields lines are closed curves?

A magnetic field is a region surrounding a magnet , in which the force of the magnet can be deflected.

Magnetic field is that quantity that has both direction and magnitude.

The direction can be easily found by compass needle.

The direction of the magnetic field is to be the direction in which the north pole of the compass needle moves inside it.

Thus , the field lines emerge from north pole and merge at the south pole. But inside the magnet , the direction of the field lines is from south pole to north pole. Thus , the magnetic field lines are closed curves.

 

 

 

Important point :--

 

·       The relative strength of the magnetic field is shown by the degree of the closeness of the field lines.

·       The magnetic field is stronger near the pole ends.

·       No two field lines are found to cross each other.

METAL And Chemical Properties of metals

  METAL Metal is a element that has metallic bond and have positive ions or cations. Metal is a lattice of positive ions that are surrounded by the cloud of the electrons. In the pure state, metal have a shining surface. This properties are called metallic luster . Here, metals are generally hard. Metals are malleable, because they can be hammered into thin sheets. This property is called as malleability . Metals are ductile it means they can be drawn into wires. The ability of the metals to be drawn into thin wires is called as ductility . For example:--   gold is most ductile metal. Due to the properties of the ductility and malleability, metals can be given in different shapes as per their needs. Metals are opaque Metals are lustrous elements that are good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are denser than the other substances. Metals are good conductor of heat. For example :-- silver and copper. Lead and mercury are poor conductors of heat. ...

Food chains and webs, Tropic levels

Food chains and webs   Food chain is the sequence of organisms in which nutrients and energy is transferred in the form of food from one organism to another organisms. Food chain is the possible pathway in which nutrients and energy is transferred through an ecosystem. A food chain is the linear network of links in which a food web is starting from producers organisms and is ending at decomposers.   A food chain shows a series or organisms taking part at various biotic level. Each steps or levels of the food chain forms a tropic level . The tropic level of an organisms is the position it occupies in a food web. Organisms in food chain are grouped into categories are known as trophic levels. Tropic levels are divided into various levels:--   Producers:--                      The producers or the autotrophs are the first trophic level.   All green plant...

Eco system

                            Eco system   Eco system is a complex relationship among all organisms such as plants , animals , microorganisms and the human beings and the physical surroundings. And they interact with each other and maintain a balance in environment. An ecosystem is a biological community   of interacting organisms   and their physical environment with non-living organisms form an ecosystem. Thus, an eco system consists of biotic and abiotic components A biotic   component comprising all living organisms. A abiotic components comprising physical factors like temperature, rainfall, wind soil, minerals, etc.   A garden is an eco system In a garden, when we go to the garden, we see that there is different types of plants like as grasses, trees, flower plants like rose jasmine, etc and animals like frogs...
