Can a freely suspended cunent carrying solenoid stay in any direction ? Justify your answer. What will happen when the direction of cunent in the solenoid is reversed ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A current carrying solenoid behaves like a magnet. When suspended freely, it will stay in north-south direction.
On reversing current its polarity will be reversed and so it will turn at `180^(@)`.
