Question
State the position of armature coil relative to the direction of magnetic field, in a D. C. motor when the deflecting couple acting and the coil is minimum.
Solution
The deflecting couple acting on the coil is minimum when the plane of the coil is normal to the direction of magnetic field.

(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.
