Magnetic field due to a current through a circular loop

 

To illustrate the magnetic field due to a current through a circular wire, we should take a straight wire and bend it in the form of the circular wire and electric current is passed through them.

As we know that magnetic field produced by the current carrying straight conductor depends on the inversely to the distance  from it.

Similarly , at every points of a current carrying circular loop of the conductor , the concentric circles represents the magnetic field around it becomes larger and larger as we move from the conductor.

A circular wire is made up of large number of the straight wire or conductor. Every arcs of the circles appear like  as a straight line. 

every point on the circular wire is carrying current. And it gives rise to the magnetic field appearing as straight lines at the center of the loop.

By applying right hand thumb rules ,  it is easy  to check the every section of the wire contributes to the magnetic field lines in the same direction within the circular loop.

Right hand thumb rule is used to measure the direction of the  magnetic field due to current carrying circular conductor or wire.

 

Right hand thumb rule  is also called maxwell ‘s corkscrew rule.

if we consider the corkscrew is in the direction of the current , then the direction of the rotation of corkscrew is the direction of the magnetic field.

 

 

As we know that , at a given point in the current carrying conductor , the magnetic field produced is depends on the current passing through it. Therefore, in the circular coil is having n turns, the magnetic field produced is also n times as large as that produced by a single turn.

 

In each circular turn , the current has the same direction.

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...
