Question
If the key in the arrangement is taken out (the circuit is made open) and magnetic field lines are drawn over the horizontal plane ABCD, the lines are
Options
concentric circles
elliptical in shape
straight lines parallel to each other
concentric circles near the point O but of elliptical shapes as we go away from it
Solution
straight lines parallel to each other
Explanation -
If the key is taken out then the current will stop and no magnetic field exists due to the conductor. Therefore, at point O, there will be earth’s magnetic field and they will be straight lines parallel to each other.
