A magnet is brought close to a current carrying con-ductor as shown in figure, then

A

it will be repelled by the conductor.

B

it will be attracted by the conductor.

C

it will not show any effect.

D

it will be just deflected.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When a current is allowed to pass through a conductor, it produces a magnetic field around it, and hence, when a magnet is brought closer to it, it will be deflected by the field produced by the current carrying conductor.
