    This document discusses magnetic effects of current. It describes the properties of magnetic field lines, including that they originate from the North pole and end at the South pole, form closed continuous lines, and their density increases near the poles. It also discusses the deflection of compasses, the right-hand thumb rule, and solenoids. It explains Fleming's left and right-hand rules for determining the direction of force on a conductor in a magnetic field and the direction of induced current. It concludes by describing applications to electric motors and generators using electromagnetic induction.

    Magnetic Effects of Current

    Magnetic field lines


    (Properties)

    1. Originate from the North pole and end at the South pole [outside the magnet]
    2. They are closed continuous lines
    3. Density of the lines increases near the poles and decreases away from the poles
    4. Lines never cross each other

    Deflection of compass

    Right-hand thumb rule

    Solenoid
    A cylindrical coil having many turns of insulated wires wrapped closely

    Force on the conductor in a Magnetic field


    Fleming’s left-hand rule
    Fore finger = Magnetic field
    Middle finger = Current
    Thumb = Force on conductor

    Application – Electric motor

    Electromagnetic Induction
    Generation of a current in the conductor due to a moving magnet

    Fleming’s Right-Hand Rule

    Fore finger = magnetic field


    Thumb = movement of conductor
    Middle finger = direction of current

    Application – Generator

    Right-hand thumb rule/ Maxwell’s corkscrew rule

    If one holds a current-currying wire in the right hand such that the thumb is pointing in the
    direction of the current, then the direction in which the other finger encircles the wire will
    give the direction of the produced magnetic field lines around the wire.

    Corkscrew rule

    If one drives a corkscrew in the direction of the current, then the direction in which the
    handle is turned is the direction of the magnetic field on the magnetic field lines.
    Fleming’s right-hand rule
    If the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger of the left hand are stretched in such a way that
    they are mutually perpendicular to each other and the forefinger points in the direction of
    the magnetic field and the middle finger in the direction of the current, then the thumb will
    point in the direction of the force acting on the conductor.

    Fleming’s left-hand rule


    If the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger of the right hand are stretched in such a way that
    they are mutually perpendicular to each other and the forefinger points in the direction of
    the magnetic field and the thumb points towards the motion of the conductor, then the
    middle finger will point in the direction of the current through the conductor.
