  • #10-c-i
    In which direction does the needle deflect when the key is closed ?
    Ans : East.
  • #10-c-ii
    Why is the deflection produced?
    Ans : A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around itself.
  • #10-c-iii
    What will he the change in the deflection if the magnetic needle is taken just above the conductor AB ?
    Ans : The direction of deflection will reverse. (Towards west)
