Study Notes
Magnetic Effects of Electric Current
- Electric current-carrying wires exhibit magnetic effects.
- Activity 12.1:
- A straight copper wire (XY) is placed in an electrical circuit.
- A compass is positioned near the wire, perpendicular to its plane.
- The current in the circuit is switched on using a key.
- The compass needle deflects. This shows that the current produces a magnetic effect.
- Electricity and magnetism are linked.
- The chapter explores magnetic fields, electromagnetic effects, and electromagnets, which involve the magnetic effect of electric current.
Hans Christian Oersted
- A key figure in understanding electromagnetism.
- In 1820, Oersted accidentally observed a compass needle deflecting when an electric current flowed nearby.
- This discovery linked electricity and magnetism.
- The unit of magnetic field strength, the oersted, is named after him.
- Oersted's work led to various technologies, including radio, television, and fiber optics.
