Card 1Magnetic Field

What is a magnetic field?

Answer

A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where a magnetic force can be detected. It is characterized by both strength and direction, and can be visualized using magnetic field lines. The field e

Card 2Magnetic Field Lines

How do you determine the direction of magnetic field lines around a bar magnet?

Answer

Magnetic field lines always emerge from the North pole and enter the South pole of a magnet. Outside the magnet, the field lines go from North to South, while inside the magnet, they complete the loop

Card 3Magnetic Flux

What is magnetic flux and how is it calculated?

Answer

Magnetic flux (Φ) represents the number of magnetic field lines passing through a given area perpendicular to the field. It is calculated as Φ = B × A × cos θ, where B is magnetic flux density, A is t

Card 4Oersted's Experiment

State Oersted's discovery about the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

Answer

Hans Christian Oersted discovered in 1820 that a current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field around it. When he placed a compass needle near a wire carrying electric current, the needle deflected,

Card 5Magnetic Field Due to Current

How do you find the direction of magnetic field around a straight current-carrying wire?

Answer

Use the Right Hand Thumb Rule: If you grasp the current-carrying wire with your right hand such that your thumb points in the direction of current flow, then your curled fingers show the direction of

Card 6Magnetic Field Due to Circular Coil

What is the magnetic field pattern around a circular coil carrying current?

Answer

The magnetic field around a circular coil forms concentric circles near the wire. At the center of the coil, the field is uniform and perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The direction is determine

Card 7Solenoid

What is a solenoid and what are its magnetic field characteristics?

Answer

A solenoid is a long coil of wire wound in a close-packed helix. When current flows through it, it behaves like a bar magnet with distinct North and South poles. The magnetic field inside is uniform a

Card 8Magnetic Force on Moving Charge

State the formula for magnetic force on a moving charge.

Answer

The magnetic force on a moving charge is given by: F = q × v × B × sin θ, where F is the magnetic force, q is the charge, v is the velocity of the charge, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is th
