Q: Name a device in your house which
use magnets (except speakers &
earphones)
 Q1. Consider the following statements and choose
the incorrect one:

A
Iron filings show the shape of magnetic field
produced by a bar magnet by aligning themselves with
the magnetic field lines.

B
A compass consists of a tiny pivoted magnet usually
in the form of a pointer which can turn freely in the
horizontal plane.

C
A compass needle do not deflected when brought
near a bar magnet.

D
The strength of magnet field is indicated by the
degree of closeness of the field lines.

Magnetic field around a straight
current carrying conductor, is in the
form of concentric circles.

Direction of the magnetic field can

be found by right hand thumb rule

Imagine a straight conductor in your

hand, if the thumb points direction
of current then curled fingers give
the direction of field
