a) magnetic field
b) deflection of needle
c) current
d) all of these
Ans: a)
Explanation: a) In Right hand thumb rule, the fingers curled around the conductor gives the direction of magnetic field.
Q.12) Select the wrong statement from the following.
a) Deflection in needle kept near coil increase with increase in current.
b) Deflection in needle kept near coil decrease with increase in distance from coil.
c) Deflection in needle kept near coil increase with increase in number of turns in coil.
d) Deflection in needle do not reverses with reversing the direction of current.
Ans: d)
Explanation: d) The deflection in coil reverses due to reverse in direction of current. i.e. change in direction of current changes the direction of magnetic field.
