Question

A magnet is brought close to a current-carrying conductor, 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.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

it will be just deflected.

1. In a circuit when the switch is turned on, the current flows in the circuit, and the magnetic field is produced around it.
2. When a magnet is brought closer to a circuit it gets deflected by the magnetic field.
3. Hence, if a magnet is brought close to a current-carrying conductor, then it will be just deflected.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
