The Magnetic Effect Of Electric Current.

The Magnetic Effect Of Electric Current.

Abstract, Art, Atom, Atomic

Introduction

  • The electricity and magnetism are linked to each other and it is proved when the electric current passes through the copper wire, it produces a magnetic effect.
  • The electromagnetic effects first time noticed by Hans Christian Oersted in 1820, Around 1830, Michael Faraday discovered that a magnetic field can generate an electric current if a conductor crosses the lines of force in a magnetic field.

Magnetic Field

  • A magnetic field is a quantity, which has both magnitude and direction.
  • The direction of a magnetic field is usually taken to be the direction in which, a north pole of the compass needle moves inside it.
Magnetic Field
  • It is the convention that the field lines emerge from the north pole and merge at the south pole (see the image given above).
  • No two field lines of a magnet bar are found to cross each other. If it happens, then it means that at the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards two directions, which is simply not possible.
  • The magnitude of the magnetic field (produced by an electric current) at a given point increases with the increase of current through the wire.

Right-Hand Thumb Rule

  • Also known as Maxwell’s corkscrew rule, right-hand thumb rule illustrates the direction of the magnetic field associated with a current-carrying conductor (see the image given below).
Thumb Rule
  • Right-hand thumb rule states that “Imagine that you are holding a current-carrying straight conductor in your right hand such that the thumb points towards the direction of the current. Then your fingers will wrap around the conductor in the direction of the field lines of the magnetic field.”

Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule

  • Fleming’s left-hand rule states that “Stretch the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of your left hand such that they are mutually perpendicular (as shown in the image given below). If the first finger points in the direction of a magnetic field and the second finger in the direction of the current, then the thumb will point in the direction of motion or the force acting on the conductor.”
Fleming's Rule
The human body also produces a magnetic field; however, it is very weak and about one-billionth of the earth’s magnetic field.

Heart and brain are the two main organs in the human body where the magnetic field has been produced.

The magnetic field inside the human body forms the basis of getting the images of different parts of the body.

The technique used to get the image of the body part is known as the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

WHAT IS SOLUTION?, And Different types of Solutions

Image
A binary solution is nothing but a homogeneous mixture of two substances. These two substances or components are the solute and the solvent.  The solute is the substance that gets dissolved. It is present in a smaller quantity. On the other hand, the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute. It is present in a comparatively larger quantity. There are different types of solutions. But, what is the basis of their differentiation?   Types of Solutions Solutions are of different types, based on a number of criteria, like the difference in the solute or the solvent etc. Let us now look at the different types of solutions, based on different criteria. On the basis of water as Solvent  Based on the whether the solvent is water or not, solutions are of two types. Aqueous solutions:  These solutions have water as the solvent .  Examples of such solutions are sugar in water, and carbon dioxide in water, etc. Non-...

Cathode ray discharge tube experiment:-   A cathode ray discharge tube made of glass is taken with two electrodes. At very low pressure and high voltage,current starts flowing through a stream of particles moving in the tube from cathode to anode. These rays were called cathode rays. When a perforated anode was taken, the cathode rays struck ...

What Is Humalin ????

Image
  What Is Humalin ? Humulin  is the man-made insulin, which is made by the recombinant DNA by genetic engineering. Humulin  R (insulin (human recombinant)) is a hormone that is produced in the body used to treat diabetes.   A small piece of circular DNA called a plasmid is extracted from the bacteria cell or yeast. Humulin N is injected under the skin. It should not be injected into muscle or veins. Doses of insulin are measured in units. U-100 insulins, including Humulin N, contain 100 units/mL. With the Humulin N U-100 vial, it is important to use a syringe that is marked for U-100 insulin preparations.
