    This certificate certifies that K.S. Pragathes successfully completed an annual investigatory project on magnetic field lines around a current-carrying conductor for Class 11 physics. The project report details the objective to observe these field lines, relevant theory including that concentric circles form around the conductor with strength depending on current, and the procedure using a copper wire, battery, and iron filings. Key observations were that field lines form concentric circles equidistant from the conductor and direction, with direction reversing if current direction changes. The result confirms a magnetic field is produced that depends on distance and current.

    6 RESULT
    OBJECTIVE
    To observe the magnetic field
    lines around current carrying
    conductor.
    THEORY
    1. Magnetic effect of electric current is one
    of the major effects of electric current in use,
    without the applications of which we cannot
    have motors in the existing world.
    2. A current carrying conductor creates a
    magnetic field around it, which can be
    comprehended by using magnetic lines of
    force or magnetic field lines.
    3. The nature of the magnetic field lines
    around a straight current carrying conductor
    is concentric circles with centre at the axis of
    the conductor.
    4. The strength of the magnetic field created
    depends on the current through the
    conductor.
    5. The direction of the magnetic field lines of
    force around a conductor is given by the
    Maxwell’s right hand grip rule or the right
    handed corkscrew rule. Imagine that you are
    holding a current-carrying straight conductor
    in your right hand such that the thumb
    points towards the direction of current. Then
    your fingers will wrap around the conductor
    in the direction of the field lines of the
    magnetic field (See Fig.1). This is known as
    right hand thumb rule.

    MATERIALS REQUIRED
    ->A battery (12 V)
    ->a variable resistance (or a
    rheostat)
    ->an ammeter (0–5 A)
    -> a plug key
    -> and a long straight thick copper
    wire.

    PROCEDURE
    1. Fix the cardboard and insert the wire through
    the centre of cardboard such that it is normal to
    its plane.
    2. Connect the wire with rheostat, ammeter,
    battery and plug key in series.
    3. Sprinkle the iron filings uniformly on the
    cardboard.
    4. Keep the variable of the rheostat at a fixed
    position and note the current through the
    ammeter.
    5. Close the key and gently tap the cardboard.
    6. Observe the pattern of the iron filings over the
    cardboard.

    OBSERVATION
    1. You will observe that the magnetic
    field lines are formed in concentric circles
    around the current carrying conductor.
    These lines do not intersect each other
    and are equidistant from each other.
    2. The direction of the field is
    perpendicular to the conductor.
    3. The magnetic field (B) acting on the
    object O increases as the current flowing
    through it increases.
    4. The field increases as object O is closer
    to the conductor and decreases as it
    moves away from the conductor.
    5. The direction of magnetic field lines
    gets reversed if the direction of current is
    reversed.

    RESULT
    --> In the above figures, note that there
    are current carrying conductors in
    opposite directions. In both cases, the
    current carrying conductor is intercepted
    by a cardboard placed at right angles to
    the current carrying conductor.
    --> There are some iron fillings sprinkled
    on the conductor.
    --> When current flows through the
    conductor, the iron filing arrange
    themselves along the magnetic field.
    --> We can see that the magnetic field in
    both cases is in opposite directions as is
    the current.
    --> The magnetic field produced by a
    current-carrying straight wire depends
    inversely on the distance from it and
    directly on the current passing through it.
    --> From this we see that the current
    carrying conductor produces a magnetic
    field around it. The direction of this
    magnetic field is given by Right Hand
    Thumb Rule
