Magnetic effect of electric current
Short description on Magnetic effect (class IX) The magnetic effect of electric current was discovered by Hans Christian Oersted . The magnetic field strength ( B ) is determined by the strength of the current The magnetic strength decreases as we move away from the conductor The magnetic field lines (imaginary) created by a long conductors is in the form a concentric circle with the axis of conductor at the centre The direction of magnetic field in a current carrying wire can be determined by Right Hand Thumb rule or Cork Screw rule. SI unit of Magnetic field is Tesla other unit is Gauss .
