प्रश्न
Point out three differences between an electromagnet and a bar (or permanent) magnet.
उत्तर
| Electromagnet | Bar Magnet |
| 1. An electromagnet exhibits a much stronger magnetic field. | A bar magnet is not able to exhibit a strong magnetic field. |
| 2. Its polarity can be reversed by reversing the direction of current flowing in the turns of the coil (or solenoid). | Its polarity is fixed. |
| 3. It is a temporary magnet, it behaves as a magnet only when the current flows through the solenoid. | It is a permanent magnet and cannot be readily demagnetized. |

A current-carrying solenoid is suspended so as to freely rotate in a horizontal plane. State in what direction will it rest. Give a reason for your answer.
or
When a solenoid that is carrying current is freely suspended, it comes to rest in a particular direction. Why does this happen?
(i) A straight wire conductor passes vertically through a piece of cardboard sprinkled with iron filings. Copy the diagram and show the setting of iron filings when a current is passed through the wire in the upward direction and the cardboard is tapped gently. Draw arrows to represent the direction of the magnetic field lines.
(ii) Name the law which helped you to find the direction of the magnetic field lines.
