1. The direction of the magnetic field is indicated by lines.

While the electric fields are generated around

the particles which obtains electric charge. During this process, positive charges are drawn, while
negative charges are repelled. A object with moving charge always has both magnetic and electric
field.The force on a charged particle due to an electric field is directed parallel to the electric field vector
in the case of a positive charge, and anti-parallel in the case of a negative charge.

2. Both magnetic and electric fields at a point are inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between the field source and the point in question

Electric field due to a point charge (Coulomb’s law) is : E = (1/4πƐo) × (q/r2)

Magnetic field due to a moving charge (Biot-Savart law) is: B = (μo/4π) × idl(sinθ)/r2

Both laws works on the principle of superposition (resultant field due to more than 1 sources is the
vector sum of all the sources independently)

Both magnetic and electric fields have sources that are linear in nature (both, the current element idl
and the electrostatic charge q)

The Biot-Savart Law relates magnetic fields to the currents which are their sources. In a similar manner,
Coulomb's law relates electric fields to the point charges which are their sources. Finding the magnetic
field resulting from a current distribution involves the vector product, and is inherently a calculus
problem when the distance from the current to the field point is continuously changing.

3. The Ampere's Law is valid for a current-carrying wire of infinite length because of the symmetry of the
magnetic field around the length of the wire.

Ampere's Law is valid... a)...only when there is a high degree of symmetry. b)...only when there is no
symmetry. c)...only if the current is continuous. d)...only if the current is constant. e)...only if the
magnetic field is constant. Explain your response in the space provided

4. If a coil of wire is placed in a changing magnetic field, a current will be induced in the wire. This
current flows because something is producing an electric field that forces the charges around the wire.
(It cannot be the magnetic force since the charges are not initially moving). This "something" is called an
electromotive force, or emf, even though it is not a force. Instead, emf is like the voltage provided by a
battery. A changing magnetic field through a coil of wire therefore must induce an emf in the coil which
in turn causes current to flow.

5. The direction of the change in the magnetic field determines the direction of the current. We can
increase the voltage by increasing the number of loops in the circuit. The induced voltage in a coil with
two loops will be twice that with one loop, and with three loops it will be triple.Move the magnet faster,
add more turns to the coil, and increase the strength of the magnet.We can increase the voltage by
increasing the number of loops in the circuit and increasing the speed of the relative motion between
the coil and the magnet. The faster the magnetic field changes, the greater will be the voltage. If the
wire coil (one loop) has an initial voltage of 10 V , if you turn it to two loops , the voltage will turn twice-
which is now 20.
