When current is on,   electromagnet's N pole attracts the S pole of compass. When current
is reversed, poles
are reversed.

Fill In The Blank Notes

 

Ex 4) Magnetic field around Solenoid (Electromagnet)

(conductor arranged in a coiled pattern)

North and South Pole
 at either end of the core.

 

 

 

 


1. Determine North and South pole with ...

 

a) North Pole of a Compass


b) 2nd Left Hand Rule

Why Left and not right?? 

Step 1 - Current travels from
 (-) to (+)  terminal

 

DRAW the direction of the current on the wires

 

 


 

Step 2 - WITH PALMS AWAY, point the fingertips of left hand in direction of current


 

 

 

 

 

Step 3 - Thumb - North Pole!!

 

North Pole - RIGHT or LEFT??? 

 

 

Right 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

North Pole - Top or Bottom?

 

 

Bottom

 

 

 

 

 

 

North Pole - Right or Left?

 

 

 

Left
