How would you locate a current carrying wire concealed in a wall?
Describe how you will locate a current carrying wire concealed in a wall.
Which effect of current can be utilized in detecting a current carrying wire concealed in a wall?
Magnetic effect of current
Answer: Magnetic effect of current can be utilised in detecting a current-carrying wire concealed in a wall.
How will you locate a current carrying wire?
We know that a current-carrying wire produces magnetic field. Therefore, we can locate a current-carrying wire concealed in a wall by detecting the magnetic field produced by the wire. It is done with the help of a compass.
What is a plotting compass?
The plotting compass itself consists of a very small, suspended magnetic needle. If the plotting compass is placed in the magnetic field of a bar magnet, the needle will line up such that its north pole is attracted to the south pole of the magnet.
What conclusion do you get from the observation that a current carrying wire?
We conclude that a current carrying wire produces a magnetic field around it.
How the magnetic effect of current can be used to detect current?
The magnetic effect of the current can be use to detect current by putting the compass near the electric circuit… If there is current in the circuit the needle of compass will deflect, if there is no current the needle Will stand in North direction only..
How does a current carrying conductor behaves when it is placed in the direction of magnetic field?
A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. i.e. behaves like a magnet and exerts a force when a magnet is placed in its magnetic field. Similarly a magnet also exerts equal and opposite force on the current carrying conductor.
When a current carrying conductor What is the law?
Fleming’s left-hand rule: Fleming’s left-hand rule can also be used to determine the direction of any of the three quantities magnetic force on the conductor, magnetic field and the current.
What is the direction of magnetic lines of force produced by passing a direct current in a conductor?
The magnetic lines of forces are produced around the conductor and are perpendicular to the direction of current. They are circular in nature.
How do you make a simple plotting compass?
DIY COMPASS DIRECTIONS
- Magnetize the needle. Hold the needle, and take your magnet and stroke it down the length of your needle 50 times.
- Magnetize the other end with the reverse.
- Prepare the cork.
- Insert the needle.
- Fill a bowl with water.
- Test the compass!
- Extra fun!
Where does the compass point to?
north
A compass points north because all magnets have two poles , a north pole and a south pole, and the north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet.
