Chapter 13: Magnetic Effects of Electric Current

Complete Original Revision Guide • 27 Pages • Made for CBSE Students 🦖

Page 1: Introduction

Oersted discovered current produces magnetic field.

Magnetic field: region where magnetic force experienced.

Field lines: closed curves, direction by compass.

Page 2: Magnetic Field due to Straight Conductor

Concentric circles.

Right-hand thumb rule: thumb current, fingers curl field direction.

Page 3: Magnetic Field due to Circular Loop

At centre perpendicular to plane.

Field stronger at centre.

Page 4: Solenoid

Like bar magnet.

Field uniform inside, weak outside.

Right-hand rule for polarity.

Page 5: Force on Current-Carrying Conductor

Fleming’s left-hand rule: forefinger field, middle current, thumb force.

Page 6: Electric Motor

Principle: force on current in magnetic field.

Parts: armature, brushes, split ring commutator.

Rotation due to torque.

Page 7: Electromagnetic Induction

Induced emf when magnetic flux changes.

Fleming’s right-hand rule: thumb motion, forefinger field, middle induced current.

Page 8: Electric Generator

Principle: electromagnetic induction.

AC generator: slip rings.

DC generator: split ring commutator.
