1. Electric Field: The field produced around an electric charge is called electric field. It is represented by E.
Magnetic Field: A filed produced around a magnet or due to moving charges is called magnetic Field. It is represented by B.
2. When a charged particle is at rest it experiences no Force in magnetic field. Thus, an electron at rest can not be set in to motion with a magnetic
field. It is clear from Fm =qvb sinθ, when velocity=0 then Fm =0
3. DC current is more likely to show deflection in compass needle because DC flow in a single direction and the magnetic field produced by DC will
be constant. AC current on the other hand changes direction continuously and has changing magnetic field so it is more likely that the compass
needle will not show deflection at high frequency AC.
4. If a constant magnetic field is applied to a current carrying conductor.
a. There should be 900 0 between the conductor and field for the force to be maximum.
b. There should be 0 between the conductor and field for the force to be minimum.
5. Earth behaves as a giant bar magnet having two poles north and south. A compass needle is a suspended magnet. The north end of the compass
magnet is attracted by the Earth’s south pole, thus the needle of compass point towards North.
6. If magnetic field is constantly varied (changed), it can induce current in a coil. Rate of change of magnetic flux induces current in a wire.
7. If we use slip ring instead of split rings in a DC motor, the commutator will not change direction of current after half cycle and the coil will just
oscillate not rotate.
8. When the primary coil of a transformer is attached to a DC battery there is no induced emf in the secondary coil. Because direction of DC does not
change, thus magnetic flux linking the secondary coil also does not change, hence no emf is induced in secondary coil.
