    MAGNETIC FIELD SETUP AROUND THE CURRENT CARRYING CONDUCTOR

    PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE:
    Upon successful completion of this experiment, the students will be able to:
     To show the magnetic field around the current carrying conductor.
     To explain right hand rule to find out the direction of magnetic field around the straight
    conductor.

    EQIUPMENT:
     Stand base with rod.
     Two holding rods with insulating sockets.
     Current carrying conductor.
     12-volt battery.
     White plate and compass needle.

    NOTE:
     Take care of the equipment. They can be damaged by misuse.
     The current is switched on for short moment (4 sec. Max).
     Before switch on your circuit please get it checked by your teacher.

    DISCUSSION:

    When an electric current is passed through a conductor magnetic field is setup around the
    conductor. The strength of magnetic field is proportional to current. If the current is reduced to
    zero, the magnetic field is also reduced to zero. If the direction of current is reversed, the
    magnetic field also reverses its direction. The direction of the magnetic field is found by using
    right hand rule or using compass needle.
    RIGHT HAND RULE:
    According to the rule: “Hold the conductor with right hand with the thumb pointing in the
    direction of current, then the fingers will point the direction of magnetic field around the
    conductor”.
    EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:

    1. Two holding rods mounted on a stand rod.


    2. A white plate placed horizontally between two holding rods.
    3. A straight current carrying conductor passed through one of holes in the white plate and
    then connects it with socket of holding rods
    4. The two ends of the straight conductor connect in series with a switch and battery.

    TEST RESULTS:
    1. Observation of magnetic field exists around the current carrying conductor:

    Stew some iron fillings uniformly on the white plate/ at this movement the current is switched on
    for short movement (4 sec max). What happened? Write your comments as you have observed
